6) use \providecmd to prevent conflicting cmd names
latex will not allow duplicate definitions of commands unless
you use \providecmd. In order to keep axiom.sty from conflicting
with other packages it was rewritten to use \providecmd.
src/doc/axiom.sty.pamphlet
src/scripts/tex/axiom.sty
src/doc/bookvol1.pamphlet
src/algebra/clifford.pamphlet
You probably mean \providecommand.

But I wonder about the following things:
1. Why is src/scripts/tex/axiom.sty under revision control? Wouln't
src/doc/axiom.sty.pamphlet be enough?
2. src/doc/bookvol1.pamphlet: Given the meaning of \providecommand (and
even without it), why would there be need to define commands in bookvol1
if there is axiom.sty?
3. src/algebra/clifford.pamphlet or any other algebra file: I would be
happy if *no* pamphlet had to specify additional styles. But for the
moment I am quiet.
