86feada16f JOIN is not the same as the operation done here.
Nowadays most users who are not familiar with Unix are also unfamiliar with MS-DOS so remove the analogy.

a918fb2bb5 Remove duplicate index entry, which is repeated a few lines above
We don't have support for multiple <indexterm> elements pointing to
different parts of the same <sect1> right now. It requires a few
radical changes to collateindex.pl, so we can only have _one_ point
for each indexterm in each sect1.

3f0d1b56f0 Do what I swore would be done:
o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.

o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.

o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.

o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.

For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.
