Chris,

This is done.  I took the formatted version of
winsup/doc/history.texinfo (i.e., faq/faq_6.html) and dropped it into
history.html.  I'll remove history.texinfo later.

Obviously this does not deserve much of anyone's time, but feel free
to have a look and let me know if anything needs to be changed.  (Or
just change it yourself.)

Cheers,
David
