[Groff] Minor improvement to MM .EOP processing

Subject: [Groff] Minor improvement to MM .EOP processing
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 11:36:32 -0400

The user-defined .EOP macro in mgm overrides the normal end of page
processing, but there's no convenient way to invoke said normal
processing if one merely wants to augment it rather than completely
replacing it.  It seems to me that it would be better to pre-define .EOP
to do the normal end of page processing so that the user can rename it
in order to augment it or just redefine it to override it.  Here's the
patch:
