There should be no problem at all to correct GNU documentation.  All
it takes is the will to do so.  Every GNU source distribution comes
with the Texinfo sources of the docs, so you need just make the
changes and run it through makeinfo.exe (which comes with
txiNNNb.zip).

In fact, many DJGPP ports already include docs changes, to reflect the
DJGPP-specific features.  In many cases these changes were sent to the
GNU package maintainers as well.

So if somebody feels that a certain piece of GNU docs needs some work,
just fire up your favorite editor and make the world a little better.
