The above is for ultra short-term.

Once the main part of the documentation changes to .adoc graduates
to 'master', I do not mind another topic that updates those without
the .txt suffix to learn to be formatted with AsciiDoc.  And as a
part of such an effort, such files will gain the .adoc suffix since
that is how the Makefile finds which files to format with AsciiDoc.

We might decide not to format them with AsciiDoc simply because we
have nowhere to _install_ them, though.  Even in such a case, we may
still want to give them the .adoc suffix, just to help editors.

Thanks.
