OK, I'll see if I can dig it up. I do want to write the :ltlib docs first,
though, and get medieval on the structure of the user's manual and
tutorial. Look for more patches tonight (hopefully without XML taints,
this time).

Ah, yes. You cannot just write

:lib foo
    { var_LIBS=moose }
    : bar.c
      thing.c

because the AAP parser looks for the : on the same line as the :lib
command. However, using \ line continuations solves the problem, and i've
already added a note on line continuations to the tutorial.
