So what's the final verdict on this?  Perhaps with the Documentation Freeze
just ahead, it may be too late before this is dealt with.  However, if this
is just an issue of removing parts, we should get this done ASAP.

I propose simply getting rid of the entire file.  Looks like the only
section that is really required is the Wine/Cedega stuff.  Since it really
just links directly to the Wiki, I don't believe it is necessary to keep.
Users can easily come across it if necessary.
