Well, I figured out exactly what the problem was last night.  I was 
putting together some screenshots of the problem when I noticed a button 
in xdvi called "show ps."  Doh!

I'll check the archive for that old thread.

And I don't use emacs.  I'm not into pain.  I really like relying on the 
DVI because my DVI viewers ([x|k]dvi) autorefresh each time I do a make.

Anyway, I have my viewer properly configured and my local copy of the 
Makefile hacked to work as I like.  All is well.

Well, nobody is newer to LaTeX than me!  Anyway, a standards/best 
practices document would be great!
