    Clarify documentation cross-reference
    
    The end of the "Parsing of Floats" subsection currently reads:
    
       The GNU C Library also provides '_l' versions of these functions,
    which take an additional argument, the locale to use in conversion.
    *Note Parsing of Integers::.
    
    Split the final note as it is unrelated to the above comment and
    reference it with "See also" instead.

    Update pt_chown sections of the manual
    
    The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
    without clarification of the needed configure option.  Clarify this
    and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
    and compiling" section.
