Thanks, I will apply them.

However, in the future please don't mix mechanistic string-replace
type of changes with real patches which change markup or content.
Like this, for instance:

    -@cindex ^error
    +@findex ^error

It is very easy to miss such real changes in the middle of gobs of
boring replacements, and fail to consider them.  Calling such changes
``typos'' is not really accurate, either ;-).
