This is part of a general project to add more cross-references to our documentation, so that we take better advantage of the hypertext nature of HTML (and PDF, although I'm not sure if the PDF versions of our docs support links -- in theory they could...)
Unless anyone objects, I'll start making the necessary changes soon. An example of the kind of change I'm planning is attached as a patch.
