I've been enjoying a little use of this today - and no
issues to report - works a treat. I like the way it keeps
you informed while its busy churning away, in particular.

Attached patch is minor cleanup/docs/what-have-you that I
came across (the answer to that FIXME question is "yes").
There's reference to a man page, but I couldn't find one in 
the tree, and setup.py issues some warnings as a result (so
MANIFEST updated).

Finally, was there an earlier version of this that builds a
table-of-contents (or an index at the end)?  I'd found that
a fairly handy navigation feature.  Not clear if either of
those is achievable in the pdf modules being used (?), but
if so I'd be using that option.

cheers.
