Which reminds me-- seems to me I once tried to TeX libc.txi and it
failed miserably. Has anyone done this successfully? It could easily
have been a bad installation on my part, missing fonts or such (it was
on a Unix box, and I don't use TeX much).

Unless someone else wants to, I can do this as time permits (though I
may be somewhat busy for several days). After mkdoc stabilizes a bit,
of course.

I agree.
