`make info' succeeds on x86_64.

After a great long time of learning how to use git and getting up to
speed on the myriad styles and rules for coding and submission, I
finally have a cohesive set of changes to help improve the manual.
They are basically all grammar-related, but a few are purely for
clarity (like changing the variable name for a service from NAME
to SERVICE).  I avoided any kind of restructuring or new content.

I noticed while reading the archives that our email addresses are
modified in the headers but not in the message body.  In an effort
to not have mine unnecessarily displayed verbatim over the Internet,
I've removed it from the ChangeLog entry below.  I hope that is
acceptable.  Let me know if there is a better way to send the ChangeLog
entry without getting my address posted.  I've noticed some people
don't include the header line at all, but the date is important.

First patch submission to libc-alpha:

Fixes a number of problems with grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Some introductory clauses have been set apart with commas to enhance
sentence clarity.  Other changes include improper articles and
prepositions, misspelled words, incorrect case and tense, etc.

    * manual/nss.texi: Fix up grammar.

	spelling, and punctuation.
