Nah.  People who don't use GUB are asking for trouble, so let's
let them get their trouble.  :)
Besides, it's still the same directory.

On a slightly more serious note, I'm now wondering if the precise
directories should be in the AU, rather than the LM.  If a
programmer changes it, if he looks anywhere in the docs to update
them, it would probably be in the AU.

However, LM 4.6.3 flows nicely as it is.  And the directory
shouldn't change all that often; if it does, we just get one or
two newbies posting confused emails to -user until we notice that
it's changed and update the docs accordingly.

If you want to move it to the LM, Trevor, go ahead; otherwise
we'll leave it as is.


And nobody say anything about LM 1.6.
