[e-lang] Mostly integrated

I just posted a version which integrates all the suggestions Ping made this 
morning, and also has various other minor improvements here and there.

Ping, I'm especially impressed by this recent batch of suggestions. You 
succeeded at saying well and simply several things that Dean & I couldn't 
figure out how to put, even after many long phone conversations. Thanks!




With all the notes to ourselves turned off, we're a half page over the limit. 
I have a sleazy formatting idea which could save us some room, but I don't 
know what the *right* way to do it in LaTeX would be:

The "From Objects to Actors and Back Again" and "Related Work" sections places 
a title on the discussion of each related system using a \subsubsection 
directive, as follows

     \subsubsection{Vulcan.} The Vulcan project ...

The Springer style macros cause an excessive among of vertical whitespace 
between these subsubsections, and there's no \subsubsubsection macro 
available. To experiment, I changed this to

     \related{Vulcan.} The Vulcan project ...

and added the following macro definitions:

     \newcommand{\related}[1]{\subsubsection{{#1}}}
     % \newcommand{\related}[1]{\textbf{{#1}}}

If I turn the first off and turn the second on, we're less than a third page 
over limit. Is there a better way to do this kind of thing in LaTeX?
