+Make an entry that will span multiple rows of a table.
+
+\multirow{nrows}[bigstruts]{width}[fixup]{text}
+
+nrows is the number of rows to span.  It's up to you to leave the other
+      rows empty, or the stuff created by \multirow will over-write it.
+      With a positive value of nrows the spanned colomns are this row and
+      (nrows-1) rows below it. With a negative value of nrows they are
+      this row and (1-nrows) above it.
+
+bigstruts is mainly used if you've used bigstrut.sty.  In that case it
+      is the total number of uses of \bigstrut within the rows being
+      spanned.  Count 2 uses for each \bigstrut, 1 for each \bigstrut[x]
+      where x is either t or b.  The default is 0.
+
+width is the width to which the text is to be set, or * to indicate that
+      the text argument's natural width is to be used.
+ text is the actual text.  If the width was set explicitly, the text will
+      be set in a parbox of that width; you can use \\ to force linebreaks
+      where you like.
+
+       If the width was given as * the text will be set in LR mode.  If you
+      want a multiline entry in this case you should use a tabular or array
+      in the text parameter.
+
+      The text is centered vertically within the range spanned by nrows.
+
+fixup is a length used for fine tuning:  The text will be raised (or
+      lowered, if fixup is negative) by that length above (below) wherever
+       it would otherwise have gone.
+
+For example (using both multirow and bigstrut)
+
+\newcommand{\minitab}[2][l]{\begin{tabular}{#1}#2\end{tabular}}
+\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
+\hline
+\multirow{4}{1in}{Common g text} & Column g2a\\
+      & Column g2b \\
+      & Column g2c \\
+      & Column g2d \\
+\hline
+\multirow{3}[6]*{Common g text} & Column g2a\bigstrut\\\cline{2-2}
+      & Column g2b \bigstrut\\\cline{2-2}
+      & Column g2c \bigstrut\\
+\hline
+\multirow{4}[8]{1in}{Common g text} & Column g2a\bigstrut\\\cline{2-2}
+      & Column g2b \bigstrut\\\cline{2-2}
+      & Column g2c \bigstrut\\\cline{2-2}
+      & Column g2d \bigstrut\\
+\hline
+\multirow{4}*{\minitab[c]{Common \\ g text}} & Column g2a\\
+      & Column g2b \\
+      & Column g2c \\
+      & Column g2d \\
+\hline
+\end{tabular}
+
+If any of the spanned rows are unusually large, or if you're using
+bigstrut.sty and \bigstrut's are used assymetrically about the centerline of
+the spanned rows, the vertical centering may not come out right.  Use the
+fixup argument in this case.
+
+Just before "text" is expanded, the \multirowsetup macro is expanded to      
+set up any special environment.  Initially, \multirowsetup contains just
+\raggedright.  It can be redefined with \renewcommand.
+
+Bugs:  It's just about impossible to deal correctly with descenders.  The
+text will be set up centered, but it may then have a baseline that doesn't
+match the baseline of the stuff beside it, in particular if the stuff
+beside it has descenders and "text" does not.  This may result in a small
+missalignment.  About all that can be done is to do a final touchup on
+"text", using the fixup optional argument.  (Hint:  If you use a measure
+like .1ex, there's a reasonable chance that the fixup will still be correct
+if you change the point size.)
+
+\multirow is mainly designed for use with table, as opposed to array,
+environments.  It will not work well in an array environment since the lines
+have an extra \jot of space between them which it won't account for.  Fixing
+this is difficult in general, and doesn't seem worth it.  The bigstruts
+argument can be used to provide a semi-automatic fix:  First set
+\bigstrutjot to .5\jot.  Then simply repeat nrows as the bigstruts argument.
+This will be close, but probably not exact; you can use the fixup argument
+to refine the result.  (If you do this repeatedly, you'll probably want to
+wrap these steps up in a simple macro.  Note that the modified \bigstrutjot
+value will not give reasonable results if you have bigstruts and use this
+argument for its intended purpose elsewhere.  In that case, you might want 
+to set it locally.)
+
+If you use \multirow with the colortbl package you have to take
+precautions if you want to color the column that has the \multirow in it.
+colortbl works by coloring each cell separately. So if you use \multirow
+with a positive nrows value, colortbl will first color the top cell, then
+\multirow will typeset nrows cells starting with this cell, and later
+colortbl will color the other cells, effectively hiding the text in that
+area. This can be solved by putting the \multirow is the last row with a
+negative nrows value.
+Example:
+
+ \begin{tabular}{l>{\columncolor{yellow}}l}
+   aaaa & \\
+   cccc & \\
+   dddd & \multirow{-3}*{bbbb}\\
+ \end{tabular}
+
