it's now on ctan (cambridge -- the other two sites any minute now, and
then the mirrors on a more relaxed timescale).

in cases where the author isn't contactable (in this case, except by
ouija board), or cases where i can't persuade the author it's useful, i
will generate docs and put them on ctan.

i have announced this fact, but i don't (of course) expect anyone read
the announcement.  (but it does provide a backup against authors who
maintain "if it was difficult to write, it should be difficult to use".)
