[Discussion about the alpha hardware list moved to -doc and -alpha]

dd did some work on trying to integrate RELNOTESng (which includes the
content from the old HARDWARE.TXT, for the i386 and alpha) into the Web
site build.  I don't know what's necessary to finish this, but it's
becoming more and more important.

wilko, by the way, did a darn fine job in SGML-ifying his
already-impressive HARDWARE.TXT file.

We can do images in the DocBook documents...the FDP primer says how 
(SGML Markup->DocBook->Images).  RELNOTESng right now doesn't use any 
images whatsoever, but I don't foresee this being a problem.

If you haven't seen it, it'll look something like this:

Bruce.

PS.  As nik pointed out earlier, a lot of people on the -doc team
(including myself) aren't all that familiar with the alpha.  Concrete
suggestions for fixing up the hardware list gratefully accepted
(especially for devices that are only supported on the i386 but somehow
showed up in the alpha document build).
