Thanks.  These are interesting readings!  And the thesis itself (layout,
fonts, etc.) really looks very good.

Now, I'm wondering what technical solution Jeff was thinking about.
Paragraph breaking and hyphenation being built-in functions of Lout, I
really don't see how this could be implemented without hacking the C
code.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
