Beware that 1003.2 may still be somewhat changeable; they've been trying to
stabilize it, but the fact is that they tackled a huge job with 1003.2, and
it's resisting being rushed.  That is, current drafts are not necessarily
close approximations to the final standard.

I second Andy's recommendation of 1003.1; it's pretty well done.
