So in the long run, it would be needed to get completely rid of jadetex at
some time ...
jadetex is only used for creating ps variants of the manual (strictly spoken
to generate dvi file, as a intermediate step to create ps), and ps variant
is disabled for a long time already.
Should we completely remove create_ps and create_dvi and ps variant from the
code?
