>Fix:
Patch provided for handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml below.
It looks like I'm going to be updating the mirror system related
docs fairly often. If it's appropriate would someone be interested
in mentoring me to the point I can do the commits for this sort
of thing myself? The two people I work for (Jun Kuriyama and
Peter Wemm) are a bit too busy for that sort of thing. :-/
Thanks.
