Most important: the generated man page is still broken. For

There are three other places with similar broken formatting in fvwm.1.
I'll look into it if you can give me some hint on how to fix automake for
the doc directory on my macbook.
Does that formatting show up in your processed output?
Yes, that's from the formatted man page.
It is formatting
for tbl(1), which seems to be used by docbook for tables. Is it feasable
to require tbl for building fvwm.1? I think it has been around for a long
time, but I don't know for how long. GNU roff runs preprocessors
automatic, but for compatibility it has to be done at build time.
I really don't know what you are talking about, but gnu tbl is
installed on my machine. Are you saying that tbl is required for
generating the man page or for viewing it? And when I run
tbl was required for viewing it until my latest commt. Now it should only
be required for generating it. I'm not sure exactly why your version of
man doesn't process tbl input, but it didn't work on a solaris 9 machine I
have access to either, so I igured it has to be done at build stage for
compatibility.
$ nroff fvwm.1 | col -bx
manually, I still have that markup in the output.
Does it work with the latest Makefile?
