Hi Jan,

Neat, thanks. :) Here's one thing I noticed: the
"xiao-haizi-guai-guai.ly" example doesn't work. The ps file is
created, but the PDF conversion fails; attempting to view the ps file
itself results in the following messages:

This may be a simple configuration problem on my side (I really don't
know a thing about postscript, so I'm not sure what to make of the
above error messages), but I usually can display chinese texts just
fine.

Outside of that, I think it would be nice if convert-ly and similar
scripts were compiled instead of remaining as scripts - that would
make it easier for the average (clueless) windows user to use them. :)
