Hi Graham,

I was going to bring up, but only after GDP is over, because the
Learning Manual and Notation Reference have priority over Application
Usage at this point.

In fact the build also requires programs related to Metafont (mf-nowin
and metapost, I believe).  I have TeX Live 2007 installed on my
machine, which includes t1utils as well as the Metafont programs.

Thanks for the notice though.  It is greatly appreciated.
