[reportlab-users] Patch to support tables with oversize cells

[Robin Becker]

I made some progress cleaning up the ImageReader class and now I can generate the userguide. However, that allows 
another case to fail which is in

not sure I understand this error; something to do with PageAccumulator goes wrong.
