Just had a first skim through the full book, thanks Chris and everybody for 
putting this together.  It is starting to shape up nicely, and I notice that I 
still seem to owe some text.

Aside from the numerous little fiddly things that I will patch up and hack 
through git, I wonder if we really want to include the PGPLOT chapter in here?  
I now count at least three packages (Plplot, Gnuplot, and Prima) that have 
stronger support, in the sense of having any support.  All three alternatives 
seem to produce prettier output, although I haven't seen a hardcopy demo yet 
from Prima. And, of course, everyone's probably tired of hearing me kvetch 
about the PGPLOT license and the difficulty of supporting it on modern hardware 
(let alone improving it). I sincerely hope that some other package is elevated 
to primer status before the book sees real paper and binding....
