It looks good to me.  It is nice to give people multiple
options.  I didn't know there was a script for generating all
those versions.  Where is gendocs.sh?

The Savannah contributors are the important ones, if I recall
correctly.

I think that we have one developer new to PSPP who is talking
about creating some examples.
