I think the point is that I would hope they would accept a flat-out new
file, if it was that major a re-working (which IMO it should be; I find
the layout of glibc's manpage a lot easier to understand, in addition to
being more accurate).
But... if I'm to do anything with the texinfo source, I have to *find*
it first. Sigh. I am losing enthusiasm for this project.
