[reportlab-users] Table rendering with HTML colspan and rowspan

No, we don't use nested tables. It's a derivate of "Table" and there we 
use SPAN to do it. But I had some troubles that reportlab doesn't 
recognize these SPAN areas correctly. The paintig of the borders is done 
by BOX.

the code is rather complex. for itself it makes no sence to make it 
public, because it wouldn't work. the calculation is quite tricky and I 
haven't yet finished the work on it. maybe I'll do that later some time.
