OK, I've read the licence and it seems really free (DFSG-free, with just the

It means we should package XT <http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html> first (there
is an XT package in Debian, but which has nothing to do, and should be renamed
xtraceroute one day or the other). And XT will require XP first. Not right now.

Yes but, at the present time, it outputs only PDF, which is not interesting for me. I need at least Latex (or may be straight Postscript) and HTML.
