Well, so the document/wiki format instructions are already there, and
I think Igal has added something very valuable for people who do prefer
to see a process shown. (Especially if it can be edited to show common
experiences like what happens when libjvm_location isn't right, or what
happens on your *next* session if you didn't save the right GUC values,
or search path, or class path ... because those seem to be the causes
of a lot of "what's going wrong?" inquiries, and in a written doc it
is hard to emphasize them enough for the readers who are skimming,
without seeming to overdo it for the ones who are concentrating.)

I am assuming, of course, that Igal is using nice editing software, and
still has the input bits and not just the final rendering....
