Yes, as noted they're in the HTML in <a name="..."> tags..., converted from
DocBook's id="..." There will of course be a Table of Contents with links so

No problem, the old files are things like faq1.html, these will be

and the like.

And, as someone else noted, it will be relatively easy to get .info files using
docbook2x (that's already done for the User's Guide).
