Oh, thanks.  Seems we are better leaving the FAQ's in there because they
are changed so often as copies from CVS.

I turned the index page into a redirect so that should take care of the
problem with the exception of pages in the stale docs that are bookmarked.

I'd vote for physically removing the old docs.  I'd rather people find
that their bookmark links are broken than that they continue to see
obsolete/incorrect docs ...

The FAQs should be handled the same as the documentation proper, i.e.,
there should be one copy in the devel-corner reflecting current sources
and one copy in the users-lounge reflecting earlier releases.  Lots of
these have changed for 7.1, but that doesn't help those using 7.0 right
now.

FAQ is a stupid name anyway.  Additional installation hints is better.

I agree, but since the dirs are owned by Thomas the best I could do for
now is rename them.  Either Thomas or Marc can remove them.
