Most visible change; the --target option has a path - explanation table instead a long paragraph. This makes pairing of the information easier for an average user such as me. The rest of the changes are about aligning with howto, i.e., fix spaces after dots, URL & mail address macros, remove inline emphasis where possible, mark directory paths and words with underscore to be line breakable, use optional option syntax from howto, cut line lenght to 80 chars.
