Binpatches aren't used much at the moment, so this has two purposes:
collate information so it's easier to write them again, and remove it
from other sections where it's useless.
Note that if the standalone binpatch.exe is removed, the 'patching on
disk' section can be cleanly removed from 'Using a patch' by deleting
lines 44-47 & 61-90.
Checked with a throwaway script, and added the missing entries. NEWS
now has a comment on how to use the file, which is only visible in the
raw text version. Added the documentation changes to NEWS.
No changes whatsoever are made to the licenses. Formatting is
consistent. Comments are cleaned up a little. Some quotation marks are
consistent. Added link target and links.
* Enabled internal links; a phrase in backticks is linked to the
corresponding link target and turns into the corresponding title.
* Linked all existing references in Scripts.rst
* Created corresponding link targets
* Fixed formatting of some tables of arguments.
Some very light markup is all that's needed. The underline with ====
makes each version into a linkable title and allows a table of contents
to be generated, while the `::` and blank line denotes that the rest is
a literal block.
I also shortened some very long lines, for readability.
We may want to use .rst formatting for these eventually, and maybe move
the NEWS file to docs/News.rst and docs/History.rst - but for now
including the raw text works well enough.
