Explain that it is only necessary to create a new driver if an
appropriate one isn't in DDE already; and mention which steps are
necessary only in this case.

Also be explicit about the fact that this guide only deals with
single-file drivers.

Even if it should turn out this is not completely obsolete (which I'm
pretty sure it is), the specific cases are already covered in the
instructions; and if any new should pop up, the guide needs to be
updated accordingly. Making the user guess just doesn't fit with such a
step-by-step guide.

This way we lose the indentation -- but special characters are escaped
automatically. Also, the commands appear in monospace font (as <pre>
blocks) this way, which I think is better.

There might be some prettier option -- but I'm too lazy to check :-) The
formatting of the whole thing is not exactly good anyways...
