+New notes, JRS 20050727
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* I had to install zillions of packages on SuSE 9.2 in order to
+  build the print docs (make print-docs), including
+
+    passivetex
+    xpdf (for pdftops)
+
+  It's possible to use pdf2ps instead, but that seems to generate
+  huge and almost-unreadable .ps.  pdftops does a much nicer job.
+
+
+* Even then, pdfxmltex eventually dies with "TeX capacity exceeded,
+  sorry [pool size = 67555]" or some such.  To fix this, I edited
+  /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and changed
+
+     pool_size.pdfxmltex = 500000
+
+  to 1500000 and that fixed it.
