The documentation changes are, of course, a bit tricky. After all, you 
can't directly compare attrs.html since it's "expanded" in 3.2. Anyone 
tackling these should also ignore RELEASE.html, TODO.html, uses.html and 
isp.html. (In short, it's not a direct "diff.")

A few notes:
* does rewrite at start of got_href suffice?
No. Remember that you might want to rewrite the redirect. Also, remember 
that got_redirect and got_href handle things differently. A redirect 
doesn't count in hopcounts, etc. Also redirect needs to modify pointers 
to the old URL.
* "check changes to prefix_match_character, now in QueryLexer.cc"
Nope. QueryLexer (and parts of Quim's parser framework) will need to be 
changed. But currently, it's unused. So you'll want to check elsewhere 
for prefix_match_character.
* A more careful audit of Dictionary.cc is probably useful.

As for the ChangeLog, the "3.1 and prior" ChangeLog is in ChangeLog.0

*==== Done by Loic 20000229?
No, that's my change and ChangeLog entry.
*==========  Do these files still exist?  Where has the functionality 
gone?
These are in httools/htpurge.cc.
*==========  Replaced by  NOSTREAM  ??
Yes, IIRC.

Are those all of the "===" tags?
