Here is a FAQ update, with changes acked by Vinnie, and a nicer glyph
for EOT delimiter.  BTW, has anyone *tried* that piece of Lisp code?
Where is all the praise?  Where are all the bug reports?  :-)

This patch expects my previous patch to be applied.

Need I say that Drazen Kacar <dave@srce.hr> suggested the new
eye-glyph? :-)
