+Check for widow and orphan lines in the printed manual; make sure all

+are cases where the first/last line of a paragraph is on its own at
+the end/start of a page, or where the last word in a paragraph is on
+its own at the start of a line.  It looks better if you reword/respace
+things to avoid these.  (AFAIK, there is no way to find these except
+paging through the whole manual.)  This should be the very last thing

+What paper size are the English versions supposed to be on?
+On Debian testing, the packages texlive-lang-czechslovak and
+texlive-lang-polish will let you generate the cs-* and sk-* pdfs.
