I've included your suggestions.

There's nothing about spm_latex on any web pages or whatever. I figured that
this would only really interest the more technically-minded people. I've ccd
this email to the list for didactic purposes. The general idea is:
cd spm5/man
spm_latex;
% Note that spm_manual.tex (created by spm_latex) is not actually used.
% The manual.tex file is used instead.
% Note that manual.pdf will be overwritten
!pdflatex manual.tex
!bibtex manual
!pdflatex manual.tex
It's probably safer if people just use the standard manual - unless they have
plenty of LaTeX experience.
All the best,
-John
