The EGCS FAQ talks about gdb 4.17 being in beta: this isn't true any longer
and fixed by the following patch.
While changing this entry, I noticed that in many cases software versions
are written as
<prog>-<version>
While this is the name of the toplevel directory of GNU distributions, the
software proper should be called
<prog> <version>
without a dash. Comments?

* faq.html (gdb): gdb 4.17 is already released.
