Hi,
A while ago Herbert reported problems with color in \starttable and
Aditya suggested to provide \VL in \starttabulate. Also, there's some
experimental coloring code in tabulate.
So, I decided to add better color support to tabulate as well as
vertical lines (for as far as it makes sense). Below you will see how
the interface works. A side effect is that \NC[color] is no longer
supported: we need 4 cases instead of one.
Concerning \starttable: I started merging the patches into the TaBlE
code but also started wondering if we should still provide this
mechanism in \MKIV. I'm considering making it a module, and then remove
the color options from it as it's a kludge anyway. Using thi smechanism
has no real advantages over tabulate or TABLE (apart maybe from speed).
I uploaded a new beta (which then will be synced with the minimals).

I use \starttable all over the place. The reason is that it is (or
maybe was) the only one that supported \VL (tabulate didn't support
\VL), while \bTABLE ... \eTABLE has really awfull spacing between
cells (too much vertical spacing and too little horizontal one). It
definitely depends on usage, but in many cases \starttable was the
only choice for me.
It seems weird to simply get rid of it at once and for no particular
reason. (I don't care if it doesn't support colors.)

Well, it was worth a try .. I'll strip the code anyway, so no color
support any more in that mechanism (till I need it myself).
