Before you do anything else, you should read the file @file{FAQ} located
at the top level of the source tree. This file answers common questions
and describes problems you may experience with compilation and
installation. It is updated more frequently than this manual.
Before you do anything else, you should read the FAQ at
@url{http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/FAQ}. It answers common
questions and describes problems you may experience with compilation
and installation.
Features can be added to @theglibc{} via @dfn{add-on} bundles. These are
separate tar files, which you unpack into the top level of the source

This is a silly little program for generating the libc FAQ.
The input format is:
top boilerplate
^L
? section name (one line)
?? question...
...
{ID} answer...
...
^L
{ID} name <email@address>
...
which gets mapped to:
top boilerplate
^L
1. section 1...
1.1. q1.1
1.2. q1.2
...
^L
1. section 1...
1.1. q1.1
answer 1.1....
^L
