In hindsight, this should have been posted to gcc-patches. Sorry to
overseers for the noise.

I didn't realise that wwwdocs was just a module in the gcc repository.
The problem with making any changes to the modules file is that the cvs
server always refers to the head revision of this file (although it _is_
versioned). If anyone were to want to check out an old version of GCC
from CVS, they would need to roll back the modules file first to get the
module aliases they might need.
I was just suggesting the change as a cleanup. On reflection, I think
this change is not worth the effort.
Cheers, Ben
