[Logiweb] .eps graphics, follow-up

Hi Frederik,

For security reasons, you can only call tex, latex, bibtex, makeindex, and 
dvipdfm from pyk files (so that people are not tempted publish pages with 
commands like 'rm -r -f ~' or 'mail me < /etc/passwd'.

The security is not complete since TeX/LaTeX are Turing complete so an 
attack could be launched through a TeX macro (but only when 
republishing/rerendering a foreign page locally, so the risk is small at 
present). I plan to run TeX/LaTeX in a chroot gail some time in the 
future.

I have now included a link named
/home/disk07/grue/logiweb/20060417/html/logiweb/doc
which points to
/home/disk07/grue/logiweb/20060504/source/doc/doc
That should make
/home/disk07/grue/logiweb/20060417/html/logiweb/doc/logiweb.eps
available to dvipdfm.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Klaus
