Michael Kerrisk e7722772c3 README: Remove "Man page overlap and duplication" section
The info here is mostly ancient, certainly incomplete,
and is not consistently maintained. Best to remove it, I think.

G. Branden Robinson 836a436804 README: Update generally
* Reflect fact that project ships pages in sections 1-8.

    * Resync documentation of the basic Makefile targets with what they
      actually do at present.  Slighly simplify discussion.

    * Put the man page overlaps into a table.
      + Drop references to overlaps with the old a.out ld.so, long dead.

    * Update reference to Announce file to use current naming convention.
      + Send people looking for copyright information there rather than
        duplicating some of it here.

    * Direct reader to the top-level homepage instead of more deeply to the
      "Contributing" page.

    * Reflow paragraphs to 72 columns.

Heinrich Schuchardt 780b72d47b README: Explain usage of prefix when installing
Installing the man pages to /usr may not be the preferred option
when working on a system with a packaging system like apt or yum,
where /usr is reserved for packages and /usr/local or /opt is used
for user addons.

README should explain how to install to a path different to /usr.
