Title: help ronn make hyperlinks.

With the manuals described in index.txt ronn will create hyperlinks of the (1) referenced words.

See [link indexes](http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/ronn.1#LINK-INDEXES) from the [ronn man pages](http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn).

[git-extras.html](http://nickl-.github.com/git-extras/git-extras.html) is now browsable.
This should be true for referenced names ie. git-info(1) as defined in index.txt used anywhere else and generated with ronn in exactly the same manner already specified

Keep in mind that backticks \`\` in markdown allows he block to be represented as is so this will bypass any form a markup to be generated. We opted to use the strong \*\* to have the markdown [git-extras.md](/nickl-/git-extras/blob/git-extras-html-hyperlinks/man/git-extras.md) look like the generated man pages which turns the code blocks to bold. Ideally ronn would've been compatible with markdown links to have the markdown source pages also generate links but unfortunately that is of course not in our scope to negotiate.

Although this is the proper way to address this crucial requirement as prescribed by ronn it does seem a little odd and for your benefit this is in a separate branch of its own so you would not feel pressed to commit because of other changes nor should this affect the decisions to commit the general fixes and improvements.

This is the highest priority fix for me, since git extras renders the manual it needs to be navigable. If not this fix then lets manually add the links to the html after it was generated by ronn, which is not ideal but better than nothing.
