I have already tagged the 1.0 release branch point, so just go ahead and
commit to HEAD. Its safe out there.

Two options I see:

1. We would use the JavaDoc @file attribute and write implementation
information in full wording there (so tcp.c in this case).

We then really need to add an automated way to create the JavaDoc
extracted web page. ( I even forgot where the old one is hosted on
Savannah... )

2. Add a doc/faq.txt.

I think the latter is easiest in the short term.

Leon.
