Fine with me.

And while we're at it, I've found yet another quirk that may need
addressing: gnuplot has some subsection count run up into three-digit 
numbers.  LaTeX doesn't anticipate that, and the resulting formatting
is quite spectacularly bad (see the lower half of page 9 of gnuplot.ps, 
i.e. the last couple subsections below section 'Set-show').

That said, I still think we should

1) switch from article to report
2) change doc2texi to turn what are now \section's into \chapter's
    (and so on down the hierarchy)

And hierarchy levels beyond 6 probably shouldn't generate any TOC 
entries (\paragraph*, or maybe just fall through to the default: case, 
i.e. do nothing in particular).
