 Fair enough - I just didn't want to elevate myself from lowly LaTeX
converter to 'grand author of the master LaTeX document' :)

 The advantage of working in a branch would be that I get version
control of all my hacks (including those that don't work). Ideally
we'd use a distributed revision control system (git?). As an old-tyme
SVN user (and RCS and CVS before that) I've not got my head round
these new-fangled fancy pants systems!
