I couldn't find this in the FAQ or in what I have saved from
comp.text.tex...
I would like to have a macro similar to \fbox, but with rounded corners.
That is, something like \framed in XY-pic, or \border from the midnight
macros. Those are not exactly what I want, however; I do not want to
input XY-pic for this feature only, and the \border from the midnight
macros does not determine the right size of the box automatically (not
even with \setborder).

I played with the definition of \oval and \@oval from latex.tex, and
this worked in normal text. It does not work in a tabular environment,
however, for some strange reason.

If you have a good macro for this hanging around, please mail me. also,
``me-too's'' are welcome. If there is enough interest, I'll summarize to
the net.
