Actually, having just tried it, 2.8.5rel.1 generates output that is
nearly indistinguishable from what's in this morning's snapshot.
In particular I do not get the ASCII-art decoration for the table of
supported platforms that I see in the 7.4.2 version of INSTALL.
It comes out exactly like what's in the snapshot.
I'm now wondering about changes in the SGML stylesheets used to generate
the .html file we then send to lynx. But I would definitely put this
in the category of "something to investigate and fix later".
