[Bug other/13573] New: Manual changes from GCC book need to be merged

["jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The changes made to the GCC manual for the latest published edition need
to be considered for merging into GCC CVS, otherwise when there's a new
edition for 3.4 or 3.5 it will regress relative to the 3.3 edition and
users of the manual distributed with current GCC won't benefit from the
cleanups made for the printed manual.  Only a few isolated changes were
submitted to gcc-patches; there seems to have been no systematic effort
by the people preparing the manual for the FSF to ensure that every change
was considered for the mainline manual: once the version for printing had
been finalised, contact on technical details of changes to the manual seems
to have ceased.

The sources used to be at <http://devers.homeip.net:8080/gccbook/edited/>
but that site now seems to have gone down so it may be necessary to get the
correct sources from GNU Press, and manually determine the base version on
3.3 branch against which to compare them if no-one can confirm the CVS
version on which they were based.

(cdevers@pobox.com was dealing with the changes to the manual but isn't
recognised by Bugzilla for CC purposes.)
