[PATCH] Add some simple howtos, culled from the mailing list.
I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto"
directory might help some users until we get to the point of splitting
up the tutorial to be easier to read.
Given the authorship, I think it's safe to put these in the repository.
