Patch needs a little bit of tweaking. It's close.

The problem with the cross-doc links is that they are wrong for a
release doc. I don't think we have determined what is the proper
solution to follow yet. They also don't populate the section numbers
in PDF builds, so all you get is the URL and if you have printed
manuals (does anyone do that?) you might not be able to find what you
want. There's no good answer to this problem though, so I'm ok with
merging the patch after the other issues get addressed, but we're
probably adding more effort to the release/post-release procedures
until someone sorts out how to do cross-doc links in a useful way.
