This looks rather trivial to implement. So, what is needed is a mechanism
to typeset those 'quotes from famous books probably not read by the author
but derived from one of those 10K famous quotes books' -)

The fact that some installation programs ask you if you want to install the
help info as {\em compiled html} or {\em pure html} makes me wonder if a
next version of those programs will be distributed as pure c++ code.

\setupepigraph[...]
Now, what are the degrees of freedom needed?
