..cool for GNU troff...

But what i didn't understand from the beginning is why the code
from psrm.cpp isn't factored out to libroff or somewhere, it
didn't had the overflow and it uses a nice table-driven approach
to check for invalid input characters.  Unfortunately the
repository doesn't contain information on why input.cpp referred
to that (psrm.cpp) but implemented something completely different
(but i only used a simply blame and didn't dug deeper).

For S-roff i think at times i go with MuPDF to implement PDF.
Isn't it a bit fragile to not build a complete object tree? ..but
i don't know enough of PDF today.
