The manual will be distributed with the program sources. I prefer not to
ship the .pdf (images) files with it, since that'd increase the archive
size, and increase bandwidth consumption on the server.
Adding one dependency to the program (imagemagick) will however
required. That's why being able to use pdf2tex without having to use
.pdf images would be a nice feature.

OK. We need to convert the texinfo file to docbook to "feed" yelp.
