More documentation cleanups

Hi. I noticed there are still 5 404 www.gnome.org URLs in the
FAQ file. Attached is a suggested patch.

Also, I think docs/LSM should be removed. The template is
outdated and doesn't belong to the distribution anymore. The
releases aren't uploaded to
sunsite.unc.edu^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
metalab.unc.edu^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H ibiblio.org since
ages. And I'd suggested that a maintainer (Pavel ?) contact the
ibiblio.org ftpmaster, so he can remove
tp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/
. We don't want people blindly downloading and mirroring outdated
releases, right ? ibiblio.org is widely used.

BTW, attached is a patch for the lsm syntax file. I don't know
if it's OK, but IMO it's better, so please verify. Did you
notice I don't endorse Shareware ? I could just change it to
black/0.

What's the status of the BUGS file ? It's 2 years old.
Are they all closed ? I think it's another file that should
be removed or added to .cvsignore.

The system types are duplicated in the FAQ (1.2 Does it run
on my machine?) and INSTALL (Notes about the Midnight
Commander installation) files. They're also listed in the LSM
file. Anyway, it'd be nice to know if the latest release
compiles on all these.
