>Description:
The page http://www.freebsd.org/availability.html is out of date with
regards to supported architectures, and it has several broken links.
The important content on the page is now in /index.html.  Therefor I
don't think there is a reason to keep availability.html, in it's
current form, since it will just get out of date - like it is now.

The availability.html page is only referenced from the site index, and
from news/webchanges.sgml, which isn't connected to the build at the
moment.

Since availability.html is still referenced from some other websites,
most notably http://www.highpoint-tech.com/home.htm , I don't think
availability.html should just disapear, but should redirect to the
front page.

The attached patch removes the links from the site index, and add's a
dummy redirect page based on vendors.html.
