I noticed whenever a url link is nested inside a <file> tag, the
pdflatex output is incorrect and unlinked. The patch below fixes that
in the woody install manual.
Also, some links are made relative links by the web build process. Those
links work fine in the html format, but in the pdf format they are broken.
If you click on one of these links, acrobat reports a relative link not found
error. In sgml, the links work out to be absolute links, so there must be
something in the build process that causes this to occur.
