I tried to do that with CVS head (understanding I really should check
out the 7.3 branch for what we're talking about) and it failed for me,
something about PARA type not allowed. I also notice that the cvs build
instructions suggest the names for the old books, this will need to be
changed at some point I think.

I thought I remember someone (Peter? Thomas Lockhart?) mentioning that
there was some cleanup they did for the 7.2 pdf's.  I'm still inclined
to just post these as it seems unlikely that whomever did them before
will have availability to do it again, and after skimming through the
ones Joe built I don't see anything atrocious.
