Some bugs in the GCC 4.3 release notes

Some bugs in the GCC 4.3 release notes

[James Brown]

The link the the GCC 4.3 release notes to the TR1 implementation
status page is dead.

Also, the parallel mode page is somewhat unclear as to exactly _how_
to substitute the parallel algorithms "on a piecemeal basis."

No more, fixed with the patch below.

(This was one of the side effects of a documentation rewrite on the
libstdc++ side.)

Let me add the libstdc++ list where the experts are.  Usually, user
support questions should go to gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org, not the general
lists which is about the development _of_ GCC as opposed to _with_ GCC,
but this may be something to hilight better in our documentation.

Hey, sorry for the delay on this...

I've checked in a patch that will hopefully clarify this stuff. Please
let me know if you think it still unclear.

Here's the patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-06/msg01526.html

or you can just read the new text here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/parallel_mode.html

best,
