Those are backup files or autosave files, and they muck up the build
process, especially if they're a link to a file that doesn't exist.

Don't print all the possible 'make foo.pdf' commands when there are so

their own) that the list would be very long.

Move the LaTeX template files and the get_revision script from OTS's
private SVN tree to here.  Rewrite README.md.  Clean up the Makefile,
moving all documentation into README.md removing the "VIEW=true"
feature as discussed with James.

Use spaces instead of TABs for the left-side whitespace on line inside
the shell expression.  Break the first line into two lines, and on all
lines move the continuation backslashes leftward to stay within 80 cols.
