Rik,

I have completed a changeset that essentially does this by
hand plus the inclusion of additional explanatory text.

As I worked on this and proof read it I found that the
extra text was not all that important and in any case
could be moved to a separate section. But I went ahead and
completed the editing so he changeset does make a
useful improvement over what is there now. And, it has the
explanation ahead of the sections listing the properties.

So, I leave it to you to decide how to proceed. I am getting
short of time.

If you decide not to use this changeset as it is, you should
apply the part that fixes the typo in graphics-props.cc and
graphics.in.h.
