This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Incorporate new development section, since Satoshi seems to have wandered
off for a bit and I have too much stuff stacking up in my handbook directory.

"4.4BSD-Lite" (not "4.4 BSD Lite", "BSD 4.4-lite" or some such), this
is what the CSRG people call their release in the red daemon book (and
most of the handbook had it that way).
I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)
Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml. Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.
Avoid the use of contractions. This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.
we are consistent in how they are referenced in the handbook, and
so that they are now all clickable URLs. E.g. no more mis-matched
freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hackers@freebsd.org. They are used
just like the individual mail addresses defined in authors.sgml.
E.g. &a.doc will expand to:
FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG>
Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address. All references
to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG.
Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.
* Kernel configuration, from Jake Hamby <jehamby@lightside.com>
I'd like as many people as possible to give this one a good
check before 2.1 goes out the door.
* Routing, from Coranth Gryphon <gryphon@healer.com>
A bazillion formatting tweaks (only 13 bazillion more to go!)
* Import my "Installation for the Impatient" to the install section.
* Move Booting and memory use into a "Tech Topics" chapter; add
DMA information. (Frank Durda IV)
* Bring in ESDI section. (Wilko Bulte)
* Bring in MD5/DES section. (Garrett Wollman)
* Fix a couple problems with LaTeX output.
on the installation floppy.
Also pulled the entity definitions for the various sections out
of handbook.sgml and put them in their own file since they are used
both by handbook.sgml (the full version) and boothelp.sgml (the
abridged version).
b) Put in names and email addresses of people who have claimed
empty sections as their own.
c) Incorporated MIRROR.SITES as the first section in the appendix
titled "Obtaining FreeBSD". When adding, removing or otherwize
twiddling with the mirror site info, do it in mirrors.sgml!
d) A couple other odds and ends.
e) NOTE: You must update your your /usr/bin/sgmlfmt and /usr/share/sgml
to process this edition of the handbook!
