FAQ is made by "make" in the Etc directory of the distribution and the
files are copied from there.  You can make an HTML version by "make
FAQ.html".  It's got a different name from what's on the web --- I think
that's just cosmetic.  It's amusing that the metafaq seems to have
changed case in the opposite direction between the two.

No, that's historical.  FAQ.yo was a single standalone piece of text and
metafaq.yo was included into the manual.
