-dSAFER seems to break font integration on some systems. Furthermore,
once given -dSAFER seems to not be possible to override, so instead of
calling via the ps2pdf script, call GhostScript explicitly with the
equivalent options, sans -dSAFER.

While today's manual lists "text" as the code section name,
"code" has been effectively named from d1da074.

While configuring optimization in a level is conventional,
a certain optimization tends to conflict with some pragma.
For example, jump match conflicts with Mach-O's
"subsections-via-symbols" macro.
This configurability will workaround such conflicts.

The latest version of Perl complains about an unescaped brace in a

now before it becomes a problem.

The rarely used 64-bit absolute load instruction (what gas calls
movabsq) needs to be declared ABS if we are in relative mode, which is
normally the case.

There are some gotchas in how immediates and pointers are loaded in

Clean up the 2.13.02 release notes: we don't need to list every single

When using the -MW option, enclose whitespace-containing filenames in

* CPPFLAGS is a user variable and should be respected
when compiling .c files. Think of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
* Pass ALL_CFLAGS when linking too. This is recommended
for certain edge cases (-flto)
* Use DESTDIR instead of INSTALLROOT for staging dir
Every other build system (Automake, CMake, Meson) uses
DESTDIR. This integrates better into distro and other
build systems that have standard hooks for DESTDIR.
* $(MAKE) -C <dir> is better than cd'ing into a <dir>
* Use Autoconf's ${docdir} and ${htmldir} for installing
the documentation. This makes handling documentation
easier and respects user choice.

Win32::Registry is obsolete, we need to use Win32::TieRegistry on
current platforms.
GhostScript uses # rather than = on Windows, it seems.
Try to find GhostScript in the registry and add it to the PATH.

If we open in a very wide window, split the text into columns so it

Also, change the body margin to 8px, as that seems to be the more
