[PATCH] documentation: page break

Ralf,

here's a simple patch.  My goal is indeed minimize your
workload, so I have two questions.  You mentioned that
I should not edit the ChangeLog--are you generating it
automatically?  Really, the question is, do you want
me to put "* doc/automake.texi:" in my git log message?

2nd question, how important is the subject line of
the email to you?  ie, would it help if I gave some
specificity regarding the sections modified, or perhaps
started a counter and put it in the subject?  I suspect
I'll be done with the manual in fairly short time (although
I don't get much time to look at it during the week) so
this is probably not a big deal.

I am disappointed with myself for taking so long to get
to reading the manual straight through.  I recall trying
to read it back when I first started looking at automake,
and remember it being mostly incomprehensible.  It now
reads very well, though, and I can't think of any way to
improve its readability for the novice without making it
3 times as long.  (Nor am I sure that making it into
an introductory text is a good idea.)

    Removing superflous page break in automake.texi

    (Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++):  Removed a page break
    that serves no purpose but to break the flow of the narrative.
