I did that; user name is `keithmarshall', (without the quotes).

Agreed.  Several smaller example files would likely be of more benefit, that 
just the one large documentation file.

I don't think the detail of internal workings belongs in the current pdfroff 
manpage -- possibly a second manpage in a different MANSECT would be more 
appropriate.  Any preferences as to which one?

I fully intend to document this, in the PDF reference book, but perhaps an 
additional manpage would also be appropriate.  I haven't forgotten the need for 
more extensive documentation of pdfroff and pdfmark.tmac.  Unfortunately, at 
the moment, I don't have as much time to work on it as I would like.

Regards,
Keith.
