a long time. Allow them as aliases, and tidy up the documentation
accordingly. While making these changes, tidy up the handling of
options in the index.

Older versions of NASM would not try to match unknown %if directives
with a corresponding %endif, resulting in some very odd consequences
when it comes to trying to handle support for multiple NASM versions.
Document the problem.

There are currently six variations of each conditionals, and there may
be more in the future (e.g. %while). Stop trying to enumerate them all
everywhere.
Add support for index copying in the document processor.
Have pptok.pl auto-generate index metadata for conditional
preprocessor directives.

with by breaking it into individual chapter files. Add support to
