(Specifically for Jeff Law.)

I've noticed some things about the g77 on-line docs:

  -  They aren't immediately updated after a commit of the relevant
     sources.  When are they updated, and can I force an update so
     I can see the results of changes I make?

  -  They don't have @uref{} links suitably expanded.  (Presumably
     texi2html needs updating.)

  -  The introductory material, including the disclaimer I recently
     introduced, is not evidently accessible.  It's not evident in
     the TOC itself or any link in it.  It isn't directly accessible
     from the first top-level item listed ("Copying").

     However, from the *second* top-level item -- "Contributors" --
     the introductory material can be accessed by following the "first"
     or "previous" link.

     I think this has to do with g77.texi using @unnumbered for the
     "Copying" and "Contributors" nodes.

     Perhaps some kind of reorganization of this material is appropriate.
     Any recommendations?  I'm thinking of a new top-level chapter,
     before "Getting Started", that'd contain the "Copying", "Contributors",
     "Funding", "Funding GNU Fortran", and "Look and Feel" nodes as
     sections instead of @unnumbered's and @chapter's.  Would it need
     to contain "Introduction" as well, for texi2html to put it somewhere
     evident?  That'd make a difference in what to title the new chapter,
     which is something I can't figure out offhand.

Anyway, it's sure nice to have this material available on-line!!
