Applied patch by Andras Mohari <mayday@varoshaza.nagyatad.hu>, with some
small additions.
* Replaced <UL> with <OL> where it made sense (to me :-)).
* Moved "Developer Cries" into the appendix (as Appendix F)
with s/Flame Wars/Developer Cries/ and
s/In medias res/Developer Cries/.
* Renamed "Appendix X" to "Appendix E".
* Put a "Hint" inside <BLOCKQUOTE>.
* Converted 3-pass encoding and mga_vid installation
instructions to lists.
* Converted options tables (video eq, SDL, fbdev, VESA, DXR3, TV input,
DivX4Linux, AAlib) to <DL> lists.
* The "sections" for MPsub and INSTALLING OSD are numbered and displayed
in the TOC now.
* Changed the text inside some <H4> tags.
