Here are the revised docs:
http://www.ehlers.plus.com/quantlib/quep011.html
http://www.ehlers.plus.com/quantlib/quep012.html

The latter proposes an approach for automatic generation of source
code.  The doc needs further revision but should be enough to get our
discussion started.

Great, and yes you got my name right.  Unfortunately as I don't have
Borland and VC7 I'll break these every time I add files etc., maybe it
will be easier for you to leave them, and fix them once last thing
before the release?

OK, I'm happy to do the autoconf & documentation.  I'll fix all *nix
makefiles.

I'll edit the final drafts of the docs to refer to 0.3.8.  I've just
attempted to commit a load of changes to cvs, I'm not sure if they've
gone through.

That address is fine, thank you.

The team certainly does keep busy :)
