This probably means that the Tramp manual should explain the methods more 
than it does now, perhaps from a different angle: it should make it easy 
for a user to choose the suitable method.

One idea is to add a kind of ``cookbook'': a @multitable which lists 
several popular situations and the best Tramp method which matches each 
situation.

Another idea is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each 
method, in a way that makes it easier to decide which is the best one for 
you.
