I'm actually able to build something close to the bits that go on the Web site, using a script I was dinking with to build doc/ ISO images (see doc/release/Makefile). Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary for the PDF Handbook...but I'll certainly yell out if the build that I just started turns up anything strange. Bruce. PS. In theory, the ISO and its contents could be candidates for the doc area on the FTP mirrors, don't know if there's any interest in doing it this way.
