The files checked into CVS should process in Texinfo without any special
magic or additional preprocessing, so they can go in onlinedocs.  It's OK
if this gives a Unix-style manual and the VMS one is given by using
-DVMSSTYLE to texi2dvi/makeinfo/....

At present, gnat_rm.texi can't go in onlinedocs because it includes
nonexistent files texiplus (that include can be removed to make the file
work) and gfdl.texi (should be fdl.texi, in gcc/doc/include).  With those
fixed the file works.  What's the status of fixing those and the other
Texinfo and other style issues I noted with gnat_rm.texi and
gnat-style.texi?
