Don't forget that the 2.12 docs is split into the main doc page, and a
"developer resources" link.  If we split the new manuals page into two
separate pages (which I'd rather avoid, but I'm not ruling out), then
this task would be a lot easier.  :)

Also, on my system with my browser windows set to my normal amount,
the 2.12 docs cut off just below "thankyous".  Granted the lower stuff
isn't terribly important anyway.  I must admit that the new manuals
page *does* cut off important stuff.

Other than reducing the padding around the boxes (which could well be
done) or eliminating the "manuals for VERSION", it's not obvious how
else we could save space.  I'll keep on thinking about it, and in any
case once I've implemented a few of the other suggestions, it might be
better (or worse).
