* Can we post process somewhere in the CVS commits chain?
cf. indent for C

Paul: Documentation Guide example tutorial shall illustrate almost
everything in the Documentation Guide itself.
Updates/Status:
===============
* Release notes
* New process went well
* Beats all worked out, XML infrastructure in place, making next
time easier
* Installation Guide
* Never complete, but shippable
