Another 3.0 release criterion -- correct manual

I was reading through the 'Porting' half of the Using and Porting GCC manual
and noticed that chunks of it appear to be out of date. For instance,
the description of which parts of the compiler are run in which source
files says that stupid register allocation is done in stupid.c. Not for
six months it hasn't. :-)
This is something we all know in the back of our minds should be up-to-date
as volunteers have time, but can an updated manual be officially added to
the checklist, as a reminder? A lot of future contributors will be looking
at the stuff that comes with 3.0 as canonical (and it should be, IMHO).
