Yes, I had thought about that --- I put something about migrating to 7.3
on a web page and put the URL in the release notes, and the URL kept
becoming invalid as they changed web configurations.  I am afraid we
have to keep this in CVS so we don't lose it over time.

It could be huge.  Current release notes for 7.4 is around 500 lines.  I
think I could do this in another 500 lines.
