Thanks for the patch!

These days, we usually send patches in unified diff format (which, once
used to, are easier to read, typically).  (Of course, this one is easy
enough to read anyway.)

As it appears that <http://l4ka.org/> generally is down (»Unconfigured
server«) at the moment.  I suggest we wait a few days and see whether it
comes back.  If not (huh...), I'd like to use a more canonical
replacement site.

The web pages are backed by a wiki.  You can edit them (that is, in the
staging area, <http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/>) for yourself, see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing/web_pages.html>.  As
explained on that page, you can also check out the Markdown source files
using Git, and can also build them locally.  Of course, it's fine to send
patches for review, too, as you have done.

As a quick grep on a checkout tells, there are several more references to
<http://l4ka.org/> that would need to be replaced.  Let's hope it just
comes back.  :-)
