They seem to all be there now; thanks for taking care of this, Rob.  
(The actual update to the Web server has a small delay after the CVS 
commit on Savannah.)

Apparently I somehow missed adding the new nodes to the website CVS 
repository when updating the manual for 1.6.3.  Is there a different 
command for adding files vs. updating existing files in CVS?

I have also noticed that I had forgotten to update the PDF version of 
the manual; this has just now been done (and added to my release 
checklist).  While glancing over the new PDF, I noticed a small 
formatting error due to the use of straight quotes around 'make check' 
in a manual heading; for now I have fixed the quotes to `make check' in 
Git master, but there might be an appropriate Texinfo marking command to 
use for this -- other similar contexts use those instead of direct quote 
marks.
