[Freeciv-Dev] Patch for documentation updates

[Mitch Davis <mjd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Freeciv team,

I've been working on polishing the documentation for 1.7.2.
I'm about 2/3 through.

I've attached the patch, and I'd appreciate comments.
I would especially like comments on where I've got
"FIXME"s.

Some of the changes throw diff quite badly, so I've
compressed them, rather than make them human-readable.

My suggestion is to apply the patch, then read the
patched files, rather than read the patch itself.

Regards,

Mitch.
