I've got a first pass at a what I think Simon was suggesting, a program 
that builds a custom glossary containing only the terms found in a given 
directory.

glossbuild is a Perl program that scans through SGML files looking for 
acronym tags.  When found, it checks the "global" glossary.  If there's 
a glossentry for the term, it's printed to stdout, as are glossdiv tags.

If /usr/doc/en*/share/sgml/glossary/freebsd-glossary.sgml is the 
"global" glossary, ulinks in the resultant custom glossary will be 
broken.  There are bound to be other issues.

Is building a customized glossary for the Handbook in the Handbook 
directory the way to proceed, or is there a better way?
