Hello, all.

I recently added a new required LaTeX package to compile the manual.
Unfortunately, it's not packaged in any of the Ubuntu TeX packages
(they're still using the old TeXLive 2007 stuff -- 2009 just came
out).

But, to make the installation as easy as possible, I've included a
copy of the required package in the pkgs/ directory along with an
install-pkgs.sh script.  I'll keep the script up-to-date if we require
more packages in the future.

To run the script:

  cd pkgs
  ./install-pkgs.sh

If one of the required Ubuntu packages is not yet installed, it may
ask for your sudo password so that it can run apt-get.  Otherwise,
it'll automatically install all the required packages.

I've only tested this script on a couple of my machines, so there may
be bugs in it.  If you find bugs or have problems running the script,
you can email me the .log file and any error messages and I'll get
them fixed.

Thanks!
