[Xy-pic] Xy-pic and diagxy

[Michael Barr]

Of course I would.  I once wrote something for Tugboat describing it as a 
"Lego-like" package of building blocks and perhaps you could also include 
a pointer to that.  But the doc/tutorial is the real introduction.

Incidentally, there is another way to do it.  Place your nodes in a 
coordinate system and then draw arrows.  For a simple diagram like this, 
that turns out to be more complicated, but it simplifies some very complex 
diagrams.  As for the user interface, I leave that to you.  I guess 
diagxy.tex would have to be renamed diag.sty.  It could require a bit of 
tinkering to assure that @ is "other".
