I'm looking for a way to get hrules on headlines and footlines to go
beyond the page margins.  For text you can do this with \rlap and \llap,
but TeX complains about rules being in boxes;  it seems that rules are
a special kind of object in TeX.

The effect I want is something like this:

	-----------------------------------
	   Text blah blah blah blah
	   blah blah blah blah blah
	----------------------------------
        ^  |<----- \hsize ------->|      ^
        |				 |
	+---------  ------+
