+3RD PARTY BUGS:
+
+ * redhat (v?) graphical install bomb-out?
+
+ * GNU diff 2.7: diff -rN does not see a new directory with empty file
- * decent TeX page layout
+ * GNU patch 2.1: <must find simple example> if patch chokes on a

+ without a trace of failure (create .rej file, print error or
+ dump core) and just ignore any further diffs.
- * script priority
