comment Can you add a constant value to a length macro?
That works nicely if the calc package is unavailable, thanks. I'm not sure where the [l] came from in that case but you're right, it shouldn't be there.

comment Can't get table border lines to meet in the corners
Ahh, of course! I just copied the code from a nice table that didn't have vertical lines, and didn't notice. Also, with respect, omitting vertical lines is a luxury reserved for those who haven't been forced to create a report with too many columns for the page width...

comment Can you embed an image so it doesn't need to be stored as a separate file?
You should submit these as answers instead of comments so I can upvote them :-) @AndreyVihrov: I don't have control over the server environment, so I can't use hard links as the files are hosted on a SAN and you can't hard-link across filesystems, tmpfs still means I have to read all the .eps files, and I can't reuse the chroot environment as it is created fresh for each launch of pdflatex (I assume for security reasons.)
