[NTG-context] Grid-keeping table

[Johannes Kuester]

It seems linetable would do just what I need (at least I get rid of the
strut / unwanted vertical spacing problem, so I do get a grid-keeping
table), but:

Is there a way to use linetable in two-column mode?
(i.e. the consecutive lines of my table should be set just like normal
text would in two-column mode).

Currently linetable just streches over the whole textwidth, as it adds
white space between columns.

In my previous example below, using

  \setuplinetable[n=4]

  \setuplinetable[c][1]   [width=6mm]
  \setuplinetable[c][2]   [width=5mm]
  \setuplinetable[c][3]   [width=51mm]
  \setuplinetable[c][4]   [width=1mm]

and then startlinetable / stoplinetable instead of start/stoptabulate
works fine for the vertical spacing problem.
