It was mostly up-to-date.  (I was faking the date so I didn't have to
regenerate the versioned documentation files.) I decided to start fresh thi=
s
morning which generated the ltmain.sh missing from tarball problems. Once
Rafael sorts that problem out (preferably) or provides a tarball for today
with my recent CVS changes and his, I will try again.

That's wonderful news.  I like that 50 per cent increase in the developers
who can build the documentation!  Please document what you did in
README.developers. I haven't been able to build the docs on RH myself, yet.
It seems every weekend there has been another plplot distraction of higher
priority, but maybe this weekend.
