+# Sadly, the final stages of generating a presentable PDF file always
+# seem to require some manual tweaking. Doesn't seem to matter what
+# typesetting tool one uses, sane forms of automation only go so far,
+# at least with present technology.
+#
+# This script is intended to be a collection of tweaks. The theory is
+# that, while we can't avoid the need for tweaking, we can at least
+# write the silly things down in a form that a program might be able
+# to execute. Undoubtedly everythig in here will break, eventually,
+# at which point it will need to be updated, but since the alternative
+# is to do the final editing by hand every time, this approach seems
+# the lesser of two evils.
