By coincident, my supervisor was talking about print-on-demand
stuff today and gave the example of the lilypond docs. I said
that it'd be a thousand pages, which would be rather expensive.
He was surprised that it was that much, so I counted (for f in
*[a-z][a-z][a-z].pdf; do pdfinfo $f | grep Pages ; fi).
The non-translates docs are 2137 pages. Not a typo; we have over
two thousand pages. (granted, that counts table of contents,
index, LSR extracts, etc... but it's still a lot!)
