Gaetano, you say in #310201 that "alml is not a unique dependance of
Appunti-di-informatica-libera. It is a DTD and can be used for any
kind of documentation. So it should not be removed." However, it
seems that alml is the only package which uses dvidvi which we'd like
to remove. How useful/important is alml and does it absolutely
require dvidvi?
