I would really like to use texinfo for documentation in my company. 
Everything about it is perfect except one thing: I need tables in printed
documents to have borders (like in Microsoft Word tables).

Is there any way to do this?  Would it be easy to patch the 'texinfo' TeX
macro package to do this?  The outline of the table, and the first row
should be have a heavy border.  The rest of the table should have a light
border.  Better still would be an option, but right now I would be happy if
all tables had these borders.
