My man system automatically uses `-t' (resp. can be adjusted with an
environment variable).  The very problem is that if you do

  tbl < grolbp.man > grolbp.tbl.man

and then view `grolbp.tbl.man' with the -t option (i.e. calling the
tbl preprocessor again), a large portion of the man page is silently
cut out...

Thus I believe it is better to not call tbl in advance -- there is the
`grog' command to assist people in finding out which preprocessor
should be used.
