bugzilla-2d4d7c92bfb4ce18e4413b1e66f30bd62a44e6ff.tar.xz
Updated Bugzilla Guide and README to fix bug 76156, bug 76841, and bug 26242.
The README is now gutted, pointers to Guide. Also some new sections added, old ones fixed, and notes appended to deprecated sections I've not yet had the heart to remove.
