So I've obviously been pretty quiet on this recently.  Apologies...I've
been dealing with an extended death-in-the-family experience, and there is
still a fair amount of cleanup to be done.

Looking quickly at this work, it seems similar to the results I got.  But
there's a lot of code there that came from somewhere?  I'd put together a
fairly simple conversion using pandoc and a couple of short sed scripts;
is there a reason for a more complex solution?

Thanks for looking into this, anyway; I hope to be able to focus more on
it shortly.
