OK, I'm freezing install.sgml and release.sgml. Feel free to make
changes to release.sgml, and *if* you limit the changes to one or a
few one-liners I can update the hardcopy at the last minute. But we
should document release info up to the last minute rather than leaving
something out because docs were supposed to be frozen.

No problem. afaik the sgml sources are almost done, with a couple of
patches coming from Vadim sometime soon. imho the original man pages
are doing pretty well, and we aren't promising that they are as
complete or voluminous as the html docs.
The "set" man page is probably the most out of date since there were
several new commands added recently. So if you have a chance to update
that one things are likely to be good enough.
