[Commons-l] DJVU

[Rama Rama]

I have more or less translated the page.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Creating_a_DjVu_file

I am surprised that this page is focused on MS-Windows and proprietary
software. It addresses trivial questions of opening and saving file in
different format to convert them in a very typical Microsoft way :

"Tiff files from Gallica can be opened in FineReader (even after the
evaluation period is over). By exporting the pages into tiff (same
format), it is possible to crop the margins with XnView."

We might want to write something more rational.
