Such a major change probably warrants more than a one-liner...

Well the reentrant section mentions that it's always present,
but doesn't say anything about the performance penalty that
its presence entails.

Attached is a patch (you'll have to figure out how to get
hyper-turbo-meta-auto-make to put the changes in) to
Makefile.in to generate legible PDF documentation.  N.B.
tex/dvi2ps .ps output uses Type 3 (bitmap) fonts, which
are (literally) painful to view. Per contra, groff .ps
output uses Type 1 (scalable outline) fonts, which are
legible. In addition to legibility, the patch permits
generation of readable documentation on systems that
don't have tex.
