<a lot. 

I have been doing it for quite a while now.  Lots of examples are available
in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Program Guide.  The troff sources are
available at ftp.coe.montana.edu.  Start with the sttng.hdr file.  Because
I have to place the imported PostScript where I want it, I can't use the
PostScript inclusion that is available with groff, since it places it
centered on the page, under the current line.  So, I do things a little
different, using the ps: exec capabilites of groff.

Check it out.
