Some random thoughts for people thinking of working with the source:
- You may want to translate the source into some more standard format; we
used many homegrown macros to make typing and markup easier.
-- You may also want to redo the index creation to use makeindex or some

-index can be easily regenerated, the page breaks can't change without
-the index becoming useless.

- Printing the GFDL required many kludges, a true Eplain-compatible
version is needed (which in turn would require using the current eplain
to print the book).
