I was wondering if their is any possibility having .tm write

references (when used with 2 groff passes) much easier.
In my Makefile, I use 2> to redirect stderr to a file:
groff $(FLAGS) -rTocGen=1 -z stuff bookfile.ms 2>bookfile.aux
## do stuff with the aux file ##
groff $(FLAGS) stuff bookfile.ms >bookfile.ps 2>bookfile.err
The TocGen register turns on all the stuff needed for contents, cross-
refs, and index; it's all output using .tm.
I for one won't turn on -U on a file from just anyone until I
understand what's going to happen. :-)
