Steel Bank Common Lisp

Update of /cvsroot/sbcl/sbcl/doc
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv10603

Modified Files:
	ffi.xml 
Log Message:
0.8.6.36:
	tidying...
	...fiddling with TRACE docs in anticipation of actually
		making it do PROFILEing as intended
	...small doc/ fixes
	...(re-?)deleted FOP-CHARACTER since it's still speculative
		generality (will presumably be added back when Unicode 
		comes, but isn't helpful now, and would be only 
		infinitesimally helpful then, since it's untested now
		and so easy to add then)
	...MORE LOC: broke some long lines 
	...stdlog seemed to be unused.
