By popular demand.

I've organized the topics by Open Firmware version, since many users found
the old scheme way too confusing (clause out Open Firmware version-specific
content).

It's still really confusing to read (particularly the .txt version which
doesn't adequately distinguish headings from the body)

Also added a bit more info on partitioning vs. OF version.

Tweaks and re-detailing.

- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups

Major overhaul.

added devices reported as working by port-macppc posters
added list of what devices are supported by which versions of OF
included description of how each OF version boots
described partitioning

major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...

branches: 1.3.4;
