Dan -

Thanks for doing this. It seems simpler.

So if I understand correctly, the main changes I would need to make in
existing and/or future packages would be:

1) no longer list all figures, just the "figdir"?
2) use new xmldocs.make and include omf.make in the root (unless/until
we've got Jody's centralized version in place.)?
3) get rid of omf-install directory?

Cheers,
