These are cross-manual links, which current makeinfo doesn't handle
well.

Ludovic asked Karl what do about that, and he said:

    Here are the choices:

    1) run with the development (CVS) makeinfo, which will use the
       htmlxref.cnf mechanism Patrice and I devised.

    2) postprocess the html with perl/sed/whatever to fix the xrefs.

    3) add .symlinks to the guile web dir to make them resolve.

    4) live with the problem until the texinfo release (or pre-release).

I'm away from the internet right now, but whenever someone gets around
to solving this, here are the options :)
