Since google uses referrer links as an indicator to a page's popularity we
should all add links from pages we run with any traffic to the new faq.

It would also be good if the 'stale' faqs could link to the new one once it
is ready.

I've added a couple of links on my main page http//www.heyes-
jones.com/astar.html which sees about 100 people a day, one to the faq and
one to the gardeners project.

I'm going to add a page to my site about my lisp projects so I'll also write
a little more on the gardeners project there and link it to my busier page.
