Added a new question about sorting with a NULL. Also some minor
cleanups, especially in regards to some of the http links: is
some automatic tool messing these up somehow? (many had spaces
and odd breaks in the middle)

The original is actually in HTML in doc/src/FAQ/FAQ.html. I made the
modifications you suggested in the patch and am attaching the diff.

One problem is wrapping of URL's. Most are fixed now but I saw at least
on that is still wrapped in the text version. I use this command for
the HTML to text conversion:

lynx -force_html -dont_wrap_pre -dump -hiddenlinks=ignore -nolist "$@"

Any ideas on how that can be improved?

Thank you - I could not remember which was the chicken and which was
the egg :) but I will diff the HTML next time.

Not off the top of my head, but I will play around with it. Worse comes
to worse, we can manually clean it up or make a quick perl script to clean
up after lynx.

Yea, the FAQ's master is HTML, and the TODO's master is a text file.
