The attached diff, which I can commit now or after review,
further improves (at least in my view) the backends section.
For review by Julien.

I do have some further concerns I have not acted upon.

The C# and Java backends say that there is support for
Mercury level debugging, but the .ssdebug grade component,
as far as I remember, is not actually publically documented,
which makes these claims look hollow.

I am not sure why we lay so much (relative) emphasis
on good interfacing with the target language. Shouldn't this be
a given?

Does anyone have a list of the parts of the standard library
that do not work in Java and/or C# grades?

Why is it important to specify the first release that supported
these backends? These were more than a decade ago.

Why does this file use </p>? I thought paragraphs did NOT
have to be explicitly terminated.

Note that my laptop does not have PHP installed,
so I haven't been able to test the aesthetics of the result.

Zoltan.
