o Add links for backwards compatibility with older yelp versions
This is a follow up on r22373 which fixes the help file
locations for newer yelp versions. That fix was incompatible
with older yelp versions. With the links in place, both old and
new yelp versions should properly find the help files. This
change is deliberately committed to the 2.4 branch only. It is
expected that the older yelp versions won't be used anymore by
the time the current trunk gets stable.

different way to contact the team. Add a few pointer to related
