Re: integrate tbl into mandoc

[Kristaps Dzonsons <kristaps@bsd.lv>]

Hi Ingo---I'm on my way back from a little bit in the mountains.  Just 
getting your patches and messages now.

I'll respond over the next few days, but I warn you that I absolutely 
don't intend to merge tbl into mandoc.  I don't want the code volume 
increased so much for a corner case.  Tables are already supported by 
`Bl -column'; pulling this extra code into the parser for all manuals in 
the general case is wasteful.

I'll produce a patch by way of explanation, but I intend to instead have 
a separate tbl utility that links with libmandoc for escape-width 
calculation (which will, happily, need deduplication) that will produce 
fixed text that's pumped into libman or libmdoc.

I'll need a few days, but it'll be quite straightforward.

Take care,

Kristaps
