Fixed, though in my defense, I didn't even know that man page existed. :)

Basically, the layout programs work for any graph, directed or 
undirected. Only dot, however,
takes directed edges into account as part of the layout. (If the graph 
is not directed, dot imposes
an ordering.)

That's up to you. On the other hand, the output of dot and dot | neato 
-n2 should be very close, modulo
some floating point rounding. If you are seeing significant differences, 
we would appreciate it if you
would submit a bug report so we could fix this. Thanks.
