ok, I missed the original article, and swiped these bits from a
followup, but here goes....  :-)

I'd suggest looking into a macro package called S-Tables.tex
(stables.tex).  I believe it's on ymir, but I'm not sure --- the
author sent me the file directly.  it's a really sharp macro package
for doing tables, and is very flexible.  it does what you're looking
for very easily (and the docs include examples of a table which
does exactly that).

feel free to e-mail me if you'd like more info.
