I think that's a good idea, but I'd like to keep the WORK_IN_PROGRESS
file in the distribution too, and in the same place as the NEWS file.

An Mmakefile rule such as

	TEXT_TO_HTML = TERM=vt100 lynx -dump

	WORK_IN_PROGRESS: compiler/notes/work_in_progress.html
		$(TEXT_TO_HTML) compiler/notes/work_in_progress.html \
			> WORK_IN_PROGRESS

(next to the rules for README and INSTALL, I guess)
plus a couple of additional dependencies

	tar: ... WORK_IN_PROGRESS

	all: ... WORK_IN_PROGRESS

should do the trick, I think.
