Committed to trunk, and to 4.2 after testing on i686-pc-linux-gnu.

In theory -- and I think in practice, even -- if someone wants to alter 
the title page layout, the easiest way to do that is now to redefine the 
@titlepage commands with some code in gcc-common.texi, rather than 
hardwiring it in the individual manuals, and they'll get the same 
results everywhere.

(Well, no, in practice they'll forget to test it on Ada and it will 
break the one Ada manual that has a two-line title.  But the theory is 
sound.)
