The "although you can [do something bad], it is better to [do something
good]" text is outdated. Now [doing something good] is required.

* docs/html/faq/index.html (5.4): Recommend against -I options for
finding the ext headers.
* docs/html/faq/index.txt: Regenerate.

<h2><a name="5_4">5.4 Extensions and Backward Compatibility</a></h2>
- <p>Although you can specify <code>-I</code> options to make the
- preprocessor search the g++-v3/ext and /backward directories,
- it is better to refer to files there by their path, as in:
+ <p>Headers in the <code>ext</code> and <code>backward</code>
+ subdirectories should be referred to by their relative paths:
<!-- Careful, the leading spaces in PRE show up directly. -->
- </p>
<pre>
- #include <ext/hash_map>
- </pre>
+ #include <ext/hash_map> </pre>
+ rather than using <code>-I</code> or other options. This is more
+ portable and forward-compatible. (The situation is the same as
+ that of other headers whose directories are not searched directly,
+ e.g., <code><sys/stat.h></code>, <code><X11/Xlib.h></code>.
+ </p>
<p>Extensions to the library have
<a href="../ext/howto.html">their own page</a>.
