I think that the regression testing section doesn't make sense as part of
compiling.  I have never considered running the regression tests to see if
compiling has succeeded.  Once documentation is built, I'm satisfied that
LilyPond is installed properly.

Regression tests are used for testing changes to LilyPond, so separating
this section out makes sense to me.

OK, so now I have a new proposal:

1)  Move AU 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 to CG 2.1
2)  Move AU 1.2.5 to CG 7
3)  Drop AU 1.1 -- it's on the Install page
4)  Move 1.2.6 to CG 2.1
5)  For now, have AU 1 just add a reference to CG.  (But CG 3.3.6 makes no
mention of a macro to reference to CG.  Do we have one?  If we don't, it
will just be ordinary text.)

Does this proposal pass muster?
