This doesn't allow for '@' characters in the URL (which seem by far the 
most likely Texinfo metacharacters to appear there - someone could use a 
mailto URL).  Since my patch does allow for them (and makes the necessary 
changes to the manuals themselves), I think this illustrates why a patch 
to use a common bfdver.texi should be based on a tree with my patch 
already applied, or wait for my patch to be reviewed.
