If someone wants to answer Reinhard's question and post it on
vanagonwiki.net, then it would be a good article. On the other hand, if
someone writes up a good how-to and posts it here instead, rest assured
that it will be stolen and posted on the wiki for you. Either way, the
next time someone needs to know how to do it, it will on available (and
editable in case of errors).
