     I haven't been monitoring it.
     
     John, it looks like this has been failing the same way from the start,
     e.g. see http://benpfaff.org/~blp/pspp-documentation/20121230033441/:
       ../doc//gui.texi:45: warning: @image file `Images/pic1.txt' unreadable: 
No such file or directory.
       ../doc//gui.texi:73: warning: @image file `Images/pic2.txt' unreadable: 
No such file or directory.
       ../doc//gui.texi:89: warning: @image file `Images/pic3.txt' unreadable: 
No such file or directory.
     and more like that.
     
The missing .txt files are just warnings.  The real problem comes further 
down where the .eps files are missing.  The eps files are just converted 
copies of the .png files.

Here is where we need to make a decision.  Do we:

1.  Check the .eps files into git.

2.  Generate them in Smake and distribute them in the tarball.

3.  Generate them in Makefile and expect the user to have the necessary 
tools.

??

I see problems with all three options, but I think that 2. is probably the 
best compromise at least in the short term.
