Use GFDL 1.2


From: Ralf Wildenhues
Subject: Use GFDL 1.2
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:01:14 +0200
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.13 (2006-08-11)

OK to update the manual to GFDL 1.2?  Do I even need approval for this?
(The only nontrivial bit is that the @node and so on disappeared from
fdl.texi, so libtool.texi needs a bit of adjusting.)

Cheers,
Ralf

        * doc/fdl.texi: Update to GFDL 1.2.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Adjust.  Put License in Appendix.
