Here is a different "proof" that 0=1 for you calculus fans.  Take the
basic integration-by-parts formula:

	{integral} u dv = uv - {integral} v du

and let u = 1 / log x, v = log x.

Then du = - (1/x) * (1/log x)**2 dx
and  dv = dx / x.  

Substituting:

	{integral} dx / (x log x) = 1 + {integral} dx / (x log x)

Cancelling like terms:

	0 = 1.
