How to add a new property:

1. Checkout the 'spec-dump' and 'xmlroff' modules.

2. cd to the 'spec-dump' module.

3. Add an unimplemented property to 'dump-info.xml'

4. 'make'

5. Copy the property's .c and .h files to xmlroff/property

6. For 'fo-context*.[ch]', 'property/fo-all-property.h',
   'property/fo-property-eval.h' and the .c, .h, and -private.h files for any
   FO that implements the property, merge the additions for the new property
   into the existing files in the 'xmlroff' module.

   Ignore evidence of indecision about how to handle properties with multiple
   components and of the 'spec-dump' stylesheets not munging other property
   names correctly (although improvements to stylesheets are always welcome).

6. Add the new property's .c and .h files to xmlroff/property/Makefile.am

7. Build xmlroff.

8. Work on making xmlroff actually use the property that you just added.

   It helps to add test files to 'testsuite' so you can verify that you are
   doing the right thing.  We can cover that, too, if anybody wants.

Tony.
