a series of updates to the mako-mem template

Browse Source 
- Padded right/left margins to decrease line length based on research into
  general typographic standards.
- Shrunk linespacing to decrease line-spacing to bring this in line with
  general typographic standards.
- Added comments explaining the changes and basic typographic decisions.
- Renamed some variables to make it more clear about the relationships between
  pagestyles.
- Added the vc-git and vc-awk scripts into the repository so folks don't have
  to go hunting for them.
- Made VC stuff generated by default in Makefile.
- Increased the amount of sample text so we can actually see the effects on
  full pages of text.

% LATEX NOTE: This alphabet below is here so we can measure the line-length of
% different layouts. Typesetters suggest that an average line-length of
% between 45-90 characters and a rule of thumb for typesetting is that you

% the shorter the line length, the better -- and the smaller the linespacing
% can become. The following line is 3 alphabets (73 characters).
