typos in manual

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello there,

Find below a patch to fix some typos in the manual, again current CVS.

By the way, I find it rather worrying that the CVS HEAD checkout from
savannah gives me a source tree that apparently has lots of changes
applied in 2006, but the last ChangeLog entry dates 2005-12-19.  Do
you generate ChangeLog from some other source?

The comma after `i.e.' is recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style
(thanks Paul!); if you choose not to use it, please use `@:' instead
to prevent a larger space after the second period in DVI output.

Cheers, and please Cc: me on replies,
Ralf
