I don't have commit access (this patch is for the zsh
repository).

Thanks. However my yodl version seems to be different (2.15.2 on
Debian Squeeze) and modifies the FAQ files in many places. Should
I just replace the old files or do you (or somebody else with the
correct yodl) want to generate the files?

I haven't found a way to generate META.html or
Doc/Release/zsh_2.html, any idea? The Doc/Release notes seem to
be quite outdated, should I update the rest as well?

Any idea how to resolve that? Should we just keep it in two
places or remove it from one (which)?
