Thanks.  I have one more request.  Currently, I see the following
during a `make' for pdfmark.pdf, and I would like to find out the
reason for it:

  grops:<standard input>:594: lines in X exec command must not be
                              more than 255 characters long
  grops:<standard input>:2723: lines in X exec command must not be
                               more than 255 characters long
  grops:<standard input>:3746: lines in X exec command must not be
                               more than 255 characters long
  grops:<standard input>:7769: lines in X exec command must not be
                               more than 255 characters long
  grops:<standard input>:22855: lines in X exec command must not be
                                more than 255 characters long

[I compile groff outside of the source directory in
 `/usr/local/home/cjk/groff/groff.compiled' which probably causes
 overlong lines in \X.  Or maybe this is simply a bug.]

Can you add an option to the script, say, -V, to emit the called
commands sequences instead of executing them?  This allows me to walk
through all commands step by step.]

I know that too well.
