Thanks for the herps & hersel stuff, I was going to have to
write these myself!

Anyone who is having the problems I did with

        "Don't know how to make: something.h"

may have a version of "make" that isn't the same as that of the
original author.  To make mine (vanilla BSD 4.2 ?) work, I had
to change

        .SUFFIXES: .ps ...
into    .SUFFIXES: .h .ps ...

in both the herps Makefile and the hersel Makefile.  This
causes Make to consider the generic .ps->.h conversion rules
given at the end of the Makefiles.
