Thanks Tadziu, this makes sense, I'll use PDFPIC_NOSPACE for the groff
variable and GROFF_PDFPIC_NOSPACE for the environment variable. The reason I
want to include an environment variable is if we are changing the behaviour,
there is at least a possibility a user has already many documents which have
circumvented the bug in some way, I want to give the least work for them,
adding one line to bash.profile is the minimal I could think of, and as PDFPIC
already requires it to be run in "unsafe" mode the code to check an
environment variable is fairly straight forward.
Cheers
