We already process all the raw files to fill in the date and version.
Add the .in macros around .EX there?

There are 1528 .EX's in the tree, but a short perl script should be able
to fix them all up.  Note: there are 336 .EX's that do not have the .in,
and two .EX's that do not have a closing .EE.

Turns out Gemini is good at perl.

Anyway, doing this as a postprocessor would let us purge the hacks and
make .EX/.EE properly semantic again, while retaining our desired
appearance.  It's also one more bit of folklore new authors won't need
to learn ;-)
