Hello from GNU Press

[Simon Law]

Hi there,

I thought I'd introduce myself.  I'm Simon Law, a volunteer for GNU
Press [1].  We have been busy this past month trying to get the GCC
manual ready for printing, so that it will be available when GCC 3.3
ships.

        I already have two changes that I wish to submit.

1. A new option that suppresses indentation in the first paragraph of
   any section.  This has only be implemented in texinfo.tex, and I am
   working on a makeinfo implementation.

2. A way of selecting alternate fonts.  Currently, I have implemented
   a file that can be included to replace CM with Palatino as the
   default Roman font.  This can be extended to other fonts (like the
   ones supplied in GNU Ghostscript.)  I have designed this to work much
   like LaTeX's PSNFSS font packages.  This can only be implemented in
   TeX output.

        I would like to know what is the best way to get these features
accepted;  It would be quite nice to see these merged with TeXinfo
proper, so that we do not have to munge each manual before printing.  I
am prepared to submit patches against CVS HEAD.
