dive into the relax code and to help with search engine indexing).

Mailing list
------------
On the relax-announce mailing list (relax-announce att gna.org), write the
release announcement by:
- Copy the 'Description' and 'Download' text from the wiki. Do not
include the section titles and remove any wiki markup.
+ - Add a paragraph before the 'Download' paragraph with the text 'For the
official, easy to navigate release notes, please see
http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/Relax_3.3.1.'. This is to direct both users and
search engines to the wiki page (the users via the release email and the
search engines via the multiple archives).
- At the end, add a section titled 'The full list of changes is:' and
cut and paste the part of the CHANGES file for this release. Do not use the
wiki text for this.
- Include links to the trackers in the full list of changes, if not
already present.
