Well, the sections are separate already.

Personally, I feel that people should follow the tutorial if they want
to follow a tutorial.  It's already hard to write a good introduction or
tutorial, without catering for users that are so impatient they want to
colour outside of the lines from the start.

So right now the changes build on each other, and having to make them
separate would be much harder for me to get right, to cater for an
audience that probably doesn't want to follow a tutorial to begin
with :)

This is of course just a personal opinion.  I might revisit when I
actually get the more interesting chapters written.

Thomas
