Hi David,

What I've done instead is removed mention of these examples from the
About text (in mainwindow.cpp); they weren't ever mentioned in the
README. This isn't because I mind you having the source but they were
created using the lout typesetting system and I don't want to add that
as a dependency.

I've also put the PDFs on my website and now mention them in the README.

And I've taken the opportunity to do a tiny update to the program (a
cosmetic improvement to the options dialog), and to update the copyright
year. So there is now a new tarball,
http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf-0.4.0.tar.gz

I very much want DiffPDF to be part of Debian, so please let me know if
I need to do anything else.

Thanks!
