Attached patch is more bandaid for errors I found in pod2latex
following my earlier patch to allow for C<<..>> stuff.
However, it appears that pod2latex has been allowed to fall
very much behind changes in allowable pod syntax and I am
sure there are other errors to be corrected. I suggest this
utility be discontinued from the distribution.
This would leave the way clear for a Pod::Parser-based pod2latex,
available from CPAN.
