I can't build the language bindings appendix because the new scripts assume new GNU versions of some standard Unix commands (like sort), and my Mac doesn't have those versions.  Can we stick with the more portable versions (e.g., in MAKE-APPLANG, don't use --key, which my sort command does not recognize and is, I believe, a GNU extension)?

While we're at it, pdfinfo isn't standard either - is this really necessary for the Make (which for me always fails at this step)?  There's a pdfinfo command for Macs, but it pops up a GUI and that's probably not intended (and certainly not appropriate).
