[petsc-dev] adding Report Typo and Errors link to manual pages

[Nystrom, William D]

When I click on your URL and then click on "Report Typos and Errors", I get a window
that pops up to get me to setup evolution.  But I don't use evolution.  Not sure what
would happen on some other OS like Windows or Mac OS.  Also, I often have popups
disabled.

Is it possible to make this work without the above issues?

Dave

Looks good to me.

I would use "git describe" instead since it has some human-readable
context.
