Fixed. Thanks.

It doesn't have to be. All libraries should have an index.html file
which is either the documentation, or redirects you to the
documentation, as this gives a consistent entry point. But you can
link directly to the actual documentation. Although linking to the
forwarding file is probably better, as the link won't break if the
documentation is moved.

Please ignore that list. I created the file by copying the 1.35
announcement and left the list in there for Beman to update when
appropriate.  It isn't an indication of what compilers 1.36 will
support. I've removed it to prevent any confusion. Sorry if caused any.
