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.
Changed an expression "one year ago", which is in fact only valid
for a short period of time.
Updated the section about ports. Make this more general, "hundreds of
ports" and give a concrete number of ports (over 710) with a timestamp
"at end of November 96".
I reformatted the "ports" paragraph using fmt, because I think it looks
nicer now in sgml source. So the diff shows more changed lines than was
actually changed. If this isn't suitable for you, then I'll do my best
in the future, to avoid this. My intention was, to make the source look
nicer as well.
"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.

I'd like as many people as possible to give this one a good
check before 2.1 goes out the door.

A bazillion formatting tweaks (only 13 bazillion more to go!)
All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.
