right now, producing the pdf with the table-of-contents is a
non-scriptable process. if someone were to figure out the correct
combination of tools to fix that, we could add automatically generated pdf
versions to the list of things on the website.

and adobe's acrobat reader, at least, use byteranges to request the pages
one at a time when you read the pdf from the website. (or at least it
should be able to do that.)
