actually generate hypertext links to the man pages, like they do
know when the pages themselves are formatted. The obvious problem
is that if you aren't a man page, you don't know where the man
pages are.

The NetBSD/macppc boot CD-R image has "partition zero" bootloader and

1. Replace all "groff"'s with $GROFF so the right binary is picked up depending
on new or old toolchain setups and USETOOLS
2. Remove the DESTDIR check where it adds -M. This is pointless as some of the
file in share/tmac have hard coded references to /usr/share/tmac so using the
new ones in $DESTDIR will just point you back into /usr/share anyways...
(the new toolchain has no issue here as it's tmac files all point into
$TOOLDIR. Any old setups should just depend on the local setup instead of
some mix of DESTDIR and old files the -M would have produced).
release notes (and thus missed updating the NetBSD/evbarm notes):
Based on feedback (various), remove the .toc files from CVS,
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Mention how to manually create /dev entries, since the suggested "Re-install
sets" option doesn't automatically do this (leaving the user without
/dev/console)

Supported hardware and setup for the Intel IQ80310 board is written.
I've filled in the supported-hardware bits for the ARM Integrator
board, but someone (HI RICHARD! :-) will need to provide info about
setting up the firmware for booting and typical run-time environments
for this board.
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.
.Te adds an entry at a specified depth and also outputs the entry name
in the output stream, .To "only" adds the entry. .To is necessaary where
markup issues prevent the use of .Te.
all on page one and they add needless clutter. Additionally
doc2html doesn't output a tag for them, so we cannot link to them.
Lower indent level for Ss and Ss2
Add special HTML support: emit an HREF on each TOC line. There's some
nasty kludging with extending the dot-leader tab stop by the width
of the href, but that's life in mdoc2html.
TOCs need to be regenerated, but I'm not going to bother for a while.
This makes it _much_ more user-friendly, as it allows users
to skip to the parts they want easily.
At present, the TOCs are generated files, and can be regenerated
with "make tocs" (probably has to be run twice to account for
the size of the table itself).
TOCs are named INSTALL.{PostScript,ASCII,HTML,more}.toc instead of
INSTALL.{ps,txt,html,more}.toc because that's what \*[format]
expands to.
