Subject: [PATCH] tmac/tmac.an: Make sentence space adjustable
Provide a register ".SSS" for users so they can choose the distance
between sentences as they want to have it in man pages.
This depends on the source having either two spaces between sentences
or each sentence beginning on a new line.
For "man" (man-db) the environmental variable "MANROFFOPT" can be
defined or extended with '-r.SSS=0' or left unchanged.
