Yeah, it also says "DON'T CHANGE THIS.  Unless abslutely necessary
that is."

I get a little nervous about changing something with that kind of
warning.. :)

Does anyone know why marvosym is included in this list?  I assume
that there is latex code being generated (under some circumstances)
that require it, but I don't know what those circumstances are...

Or, I suppose, I can change my class to not use the conflicting
class...  This seems easier :)

I just did that and will see if the results are acceptable...

Thanks for all the work on this.  It is a really great tool for my
purposes (and a lot of other as well).
