I've already done that, thanks for asking.  There was one change I had to make
in one of them which as far as I can see was purely for cargo cult purposes
which I wasn't terribly happy with (it violated the "Never include a statement
if its negation is obviously false" rule), but mostly they turned out the way I
wanted them (that is, I didn't feel the need to credit them to Alan Smithee
after they were complete :-).
