I believe the way to go here is to add that kind of documentation to
the distribution for releases and snapshots and also put an up-to-date
version of that documentation on the web, where the URL is specified
also in the distributed version.
We already to that for our FAQ
EGCS Frequently Asked Question
The latest version of this document is always available at
http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html.
and c++bugs.html (soon to become bugs.html), and I will add this for
the installation notes as well. (The latter is important so that we
can spread information about vendor patches and similiar issues, which
may become known only after the release has been rolled out.)
