Hi Gerald,

I like the "on such targets", however, I think one should mention 
Fortran there; for instance: "The library is used to provide the 
<code>REAL(16)</code> type in GNU Fortran on such targets."

I think without mentioning Fortran, not only half of the message is lost 
but it also looks redundant and talking about "REAL(16)" might be 
unclear to non-Fortran users.

I have now committed gcc-4.6/changes.html with your proposed changes and 
index.html with your changes - except for the added "in GNU Fortran".
