The FAQ* files in this directory are the master versions, and the
../../FAQ* text files are created using lynx:

	lynx -force_html -dont_wrap_pre -dump -hiddenlinks=ignore -nolist FAQ*

The TODO.html file in this directory is not the master, but ../../TODO
is.  The conversion is done using txt2html:
