edoc - how to set up links?

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

The attached escript (slowly) transforms the 
OTP documentation: for each <A NAME="Fun/Arity">,
it inserts an <A NAME="Fun-Arity"> immediately 
afterwards.

./fix_otp_doc $OTP_ROOT

This, in combination with my other patch, seems
to produce links that point accurately into 
existing OTP docs.
