Just a clarification.  If you are changing 7.3 stuff, /HISTORY is the
place to do it.  If it is prior releases, release.sgml is the place, and
when Peter regenerates HISTORY as part of the final release, /HISTORY is
updated.  This is easy to figure out because release.sgml doesn't have
info in it for 7.3 yet.
