# Simple little checker for individual libref manual sections
#
# usage: makesec.sh section
#
# This script builds the minimal file necessary to run a single section
# through latex, does so, then converts the resulting dvi file to ps or pdf
# and feeds the result into a viewer. It's by no means foolproof, but seems
# to work okay for me (knock wood). It sure beats manually commenting out
# most of the man lib.tex file and running everything manually.
# It attempts to locate an appropriate dvi converter and viewer for the
# selected output format. It understands the following environment
# variables:
#
# PYSRC - refers to the root of your build tree (dir containing Doc)
# DVICVT - refers to a dvi converter like dvips or dvipdf
# VIEWER - refers to an appropriate viewer for the ps/pdf file
#
# Of the three, only PYSRC is currently required. The other two can be set
# to specify unusual tools which perform those tasks.
# Known issues:
# - It would be nice if the script could determine PYSRC on its own.
# - Something about \seealso{}s blows the latex stack, so they need
# to be commented out for now.
