Cool.

Well, mostly bug reports, especially the state of the examples and such.
There is also the idea Stefano suggested for gzipped .dvi support, or
the camlzip solution to the same problem.
Finally, if you feel heroic, you could look into the wishlist bugs about
PS font support, but this is more of an upstream job.
Mostly, i don't really consider advi in releasable state if the example
stuff is not solved, and this is the main issue.
Also, make sure you check out the subversion version, i have a 1.4.0-5
ready to be uploaded, which fix some dpatch brokeness.
