b67866bbf8 The new Compaq DS20L is a direct derivative of the CS20 so we support
it with FreeBSD/alpha.

Pictures of DS20L will be available soon at
http://people.freebsd.org/~wilko/Alpha-gallery/

Along with pictures of a ES80 'Marvel' EV7 box (which we don't support
yet :-P )

a10036316f Fix some of the worst sgml mistakes in this document:
- paragraphs are closed with </para>, not <para>
- for each opening tag, there should be a closing tag

Not fixed (yet): block elements inside inline elements
Noticed during translation, hunted down with suppe/slashexpand

ce249ef355 Add infrastructure for an ia64 hardware list. It's a long way from
being usable at this point, so it's not even hooked up to the rest
of the RELNOTESng build; however it will be helpful for testing the content
as it approaches reality.

d7c44aa0b5 Two style changes: Bring "maintained by" credit into a sect1info, and
move the ID string from a pubdate element into a comment on the
grounds that this document doesn't change rapidly enough to require
that the ID string to actually be rendered in the output.

ee6849153e In some cases, there are some <sect1></sect1> elements that will have
version control information that is different from the rest of their
containing document (or at least other sections).  For release notes
only, allow output of <sect1info><pubdate></pubdate></sect1info>
text, and add it to three sections of RELNOTESng where it's kind of
important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in
the arch-independent hardware list, and the processors section of the
alpha hardware list).

1eb55ff65d RELNOTESng infrastructure fixes:
1.  There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.

2.  Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.

703471ec7f Build system:
o Define a RELN_ROOT variable which points to the root of the relnotes
  tree (i.e., src/release/doc).
o By default, define DOC_PREFIX in terms of RELN_ROOT; this gives a
  bigger chance of finding the doc/ tree without help in the form of
  setting DOC_PREFIX on the command line.
o Respect DOCDIR; `make install` works now.
