I would be extremely interested in the general manner in which you
think that can be done.

From my experience with troff and macro packages it would be nearly
impossible to use them together; the only alternative I can think
of would be a sed or awk script which would convert requests unique
to one macro package into equivalent requests for the other macro
package.

What is the purpose or application for this effort, by the way?
