I see three options: a) Update the faq by hand with links used in reference.xml b) Create an autogenerated list here c) Remove most of the faq and simply state that the info
     has been moved as each extension now lists how to obtain..
I like the idea of (c). I also like the idea of (b) in the future but this doesn't really belong in the faq but rather when we finally autogenerate a list of all configure options, it'd go near there.
c) + autogenerate the list in the future to an appendix. This information should really be in the reference sections, and not in a faq. This information is core.
On a related note. Windows dll information should be listed within every reference.xml too as currently only some list this information. Like: a) If the dll is bundled b) If it's compiled in the binary (no dll needed) c) If the dll can be found offsite (mcrypt is an example)
Windows dll information should also be moved out of the install (or configure?) section where it is currently (a list of Windows dlls), and moved to the reference sections with all information available ;) Goba
