dev-manual: A few tweaks to Ch2 of dev-manual
scott (or anyone else) is welcome to use any or all of this, or
tweak to taste. i have a few other concerns with ch 2 but i'll read it
more carefully to make sure i'm reading it correctly. - rpjday
I implemented all but the addition of MIPS64 as it is not tested
using the autobuilder yet. - scottrif
