pdfmark.tmac conflict with -mm

The new pdfmark.tmac macros (thanks for these!!!) have a string LB:


> .\" Getting line breaks into the text of a PDFNOTE is tricky -- we need
> .\" to get a "\n" into the PostScript stream, but three levels of "\" are
> .\" swallowed, when we invoke "pdfnote".  The following definition of "LB",
> .\" (for LineBreak), is rather ugly, but does allow us to use
> .\"
> .\"    .pdfnote  Some text.\*[LB]Some more text, on a new line.
> .\"
> .ds LB \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n

This conflicts with mm's macro LB that is used internally to begin a
list. I worked around this by renaming the pdfmark LB to PDFLB, but it
would be worth fixing this before it is officially released. Patch
attached.
