By default (\maybe == \iffalse) a web file will only typeset changed
sections compared to the main web file (presumed to be tex.web by
Knuth). I suppose the idea is that if you need to look at typeset
sources, you already own and understand part B of Computers &
Typesetting, and are theforely likely to be interested in the local
system-dependant changes only.
