Subject: [PATCH:xorg-docs 1/5] remove bogus \/ escapes
some X manuals use then escape sequence \/ when they want to render
a slash. That's bad because \/ is not a slash but an italic
correction, never producing any output, having no effect at all in
terminal output, and only changing spacing in a minor way in typeset
output.

Also stop recommending so much abandonware, but do point out the programs
we've added over the years and still maintain.
