While making the changes that Eli recommended to Jim's charset
documentation, I noticed some uses of Linux without the GNU/ prefix.
I assume that this is okay, but I wanted to check with Eli on the use
of @sc{gnu}. There seem to be uses of plain "GNU" in the docs and
other uses where @sc{gnu} is preferred. I don't understand the pros
and cons of each, so I thought I'd send check with Eli before
committing...

I think in gdb.texinfo the convention is to use @sc{gnu} throughout.
As for GNU/Linux, I'd suggest first to see whether @sc{gnu}/Linux
looks fine in print, and then decide. Kevin, could you please TeX the
manual and see whether the result is plausible?
Otherwise, okay. Thanks.

Prior to this, I'd generated html and could see no difference. This
time I generated a pdf file. ``@sc{gnu}'' generates slightly smaller
characters and looks quite nice (IMO).

Committed.

Kevin, can you please pull this into the 5.3 branch?
