Thanks.  Some comments about the doco patch:

Please explain in a few words what "ABI" means; I don't think Joe Random 
C++ User will necessarily know that.  A list of possible values one can 
use (in addition to "auto") is also something the manual should have.

(Btw, I think that the built-in documentation of the "set abi" command 
could also use a word of explanation of the term "ABI".)

Please change "auto" to ``auto'' (this looks much prettier in the printed 
version, and is translated into "auto" in the Info output), and please 
use C@t{++} instead of C++ (also for aesthetic reasons).

Finally, we use `@value{GDBN}' instead of just `gdb' throughout the 
manual (evidently to allow custom versions of manuals for GDB that is 
named differently).
