Oh... yes. Sure if we want users/developers to create the documentation
themselves, that must eventually be changed.

Unfortunately, I don't know any good replacement for ImageMagick. And I
haven't yet found an option that I could give on the "convert"
commandline to just ignore this problem with "not authorized".
In fact, it's a bit strange. How useful can ImageMagick be if one needs
root access to change

-  <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PS" />
+  <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PS" />

in /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml in order to create .ps files.

Any suggestion?

Ralf
