Updates and fixes to manpages are always
welcome and applied regularly. Improving
and fixing the build system is also good.

But papers are papers. It seems strange
to modify them. I think for papers, it
makes most sense to add a 'changes since
publication' document.

I'd also like more tutorial or 'theory of
operation' style docs that supplement the
manpages, and show how parts of the system
fit together, but I'm not much of a writer,
and haven't put much thought into this.
