5afb5e5c9c Look to the future: bump the version number.
Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and
non-paper-based formats; this avoids some extra packaging when a complete
distribution is being built with both paper sizes.

1ca78b6b70 Change the command lines to use a similar "phrasing" to that used in the
other documentation makefiles.  This is probably not sufficient to run
the conversion on Windows, but goes at least part way.
