The template currently in the thesis locker will not latex as is, giving
users a hard-to-understand error message when they latex it; specifically:
! Missing \endcsname inserted.

This is because in the file "chap1.tex", there are two calls to \tgrind
that look for files containing code examples that don't exist. The best
solution for now, to reduce the confusion, would be to comment out these
calls for now (and to get the correct code example files in the locker
eventually). The temporary patch is:
diff -c /mit/thesis/tex/chap1.tex /usr/tmp/thesis/chap1.tex

As you can see, the intermediate results can be multiplied together, with no
need for intermediate normalizations due to the guard bit. It is only at
