I've built a new version which uses PostScript fonts rather than TeX fonts.
Gzipped it only occupies 71Kb. I can see no reason for not including this
in the distribution.

I find inconceviable that it could be advantagous to ship software without
shipping documentation.

NCSA doesn't ship with documentation (last I was aware).  netsite doesn't 
ship with electronic documentation.  Does CERN?  Providing a pointer to 
the web site is sufficient in my opinion.

If enough others feel differently, we can stick this into the 1.0.0 I put 
in /apache/dist easily.
