Another question about our manpages:

They frequently contain tables which are not displayed properly
by default using e.g.
  man, version 2.3.10, db 2.3.1, July 12th, 1995 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
on a linux box here. man on DU does work properly.
To fix the behaviour on the linux box I seem to have three options
according to "man man":

 1) run "man -p t Xmfoo" (or an equivalent option set)
 2) set some env var like MANROFFSEQ
 3) change the first line of the roff source to
    '\" t

All three do work here, and the last one at least doesn't hurt on
DU. Can an expert for 'man' comment on this? Shall we change
all files according to 3)?
