Properly, the individual source files should be explained, but their
functions at present aren't particularly well-defined (and some are large
and could do with being split up).

The specs documentation should be in exactly one place - that is, in the
internals manual (not invoke.texi which is where it was added when specs
were documented in the manual at all; the ability to parse specs from a
file should only really be there for the use of libgcj) (and not a long
comment in gcc.c either).
