Eli, are the attatched tweaks ok, for 6.1.1?

(Sorry if this is the wrong place, mail to bug-gdb only elicited a
suggestion to try here.)

I'd like to suggest the following minor changes to the GDB manuals to
change their categories in the Texinfo dir file -- I've been trying to
rationalize these categories per rms's suggestions.  (I know that
"Software libraries" is not exactly right for internals documents, but
it is the closest we've got.)

Also, the frontmatter should be changed to use @copying, the GNU free
documentation license, @ifnottex around the Top node, etc. -- this patch
doesn't do those things.  See
  http://texinfo.org/manual/Document-Permissions.html
  http://texinfo.org/manual/GNU-Sample-Texts.html
for information and for an example of recommended frontmatter for GNU
manuals.  Right now, the copying information doesn't end up in the HTML
output, for instance, which is not a good thing.

Finally, at one point there seems to have been a libgdb.texinfo.  Is
that no longer being distributed?  I don't see it in the 6.0
distribution.  (I'd just like to remove it from my example dir file, if
it's truly gone.)

Please let me know if questions or problems.

Thanks,
karl (Texinfo maintainer)
