How-to-use-keg-only-outside-of-brew:
* A new piece of documentation detailing how to deal with using
keg_only formula outside of Brew itself. We’ve had a lot of questions
and issues about this recently, and the solutions aren’t as easy and
explicit to find elsewhere, so detailing it here may help reduce some
of the questions we’ve seen recently.
* I possibly whinged too much in the second section. I’m open to
criticism and being called whiny.
* Details flags, prepending the $PATH, and dealing with pkg-config.

More proposed documentation updates.
Acceptable Formulae:
* Adds Perl to the list of stuff we offer Dupes of in the Core.
* Notes that OS X’s OpenSSL is usually horribly outdated.
* Removes the incorrect space between font and forge.
Common Issues:
* We said three issues, we listed four. Oops.
External Commands:
* The cache is usually at /Library rather than ~/Library, and the rest
of the documentation says /Library, so this makes the referencing
consistent.
FAQ:
* Adds a tiny section on pinning formulae.
Interesting-Taps-And-Branches:
* Notes gaming-emulation software belongs in Homebrew/Games as well.
* nolith/Embedded hasn’t been touched for 28 months. I’ve cut it.
* anarchivist/forensics hasn’t been touched for 35 months. I’ve cut it.
* codebutler’s GTK+ experiment seems to have been terminated after one
commit. I’ve cut it.
* paxam/linux hasn’t been touched for 34 months. I’ve cut it.
* rmyers/homebrew hasn’t been touched in 42 months. I’ve cut it.
* nddrylliog/winbrew has moved, I’ve changed the URL to the new one.
Winbrew.md:
* Removed. It’s referenced in the prior file, and doesn’t really need
its own.

People want to install things like GIMP using Homebrew so let's make it
easier for them to find a decent installation method.

Use $HOMEBREW_PREFIX instead of `/usr/local` when talking about
formula file path.

We don't want to do so when building bottles or we can end up with some weird stuff being bottled unintentionally (and it'll run twice; once before bottling, once afterwards).

This formula no longer works on anything newer than Lion (See Homebrew/homebrew#34039),
so handing it over to Misty’s Tigerbrew fork where it could still be
useful. As far as tap_migrations goes though, it's being moved to the
boneyard due to Misty's fork not technically being a 'tap'.

Mike probably wants to cast an eye over all of this, but in summary:
In the Example Formula:
* Updates with a revision example.
* Updates with a mirror mirror (Whoa meta).
* Replaces the bottles with more modern examples.
* Adds the Yosemite binary dependency options.
* Improves the plist documentation
In the Bottles doc:
* Modernises the expected bottle readout.
* Adds double quotes.
In the FAQ:
* Updates the bottle language to reflect Yosemite’s arrival and the
Bot’s new minimum OS bottle generation.
In the Formula-Cookbook:
* Adds a mega block on the OpenSSL situation in Homebrew, complete with
examples and explanation.
* Changes the X11 dependency example to optional to reflect Jack’s
recently-expressed pattern in other formulae.
* Explains why and how formulae are sometimes revisioned, and the
mechanism behind that.
* Updates the Ldapvi `otool` readout to reflect the new usage of
OpenSSL. Setting a good example and all that.
* Updates the Python language to match Tim’s new Python handling.
* Updates the naming block to explain how Homebrew handles name
conflicts, complete with examples.
* Updates (a tiny bit) the sandbox creation in /tmp to reflect the
current style.
* Updates the chmod to move away from +x towards 0555 instead.
* Labels the `enable-ham` option depreciated rather than old. Slightly
firmer.
* Updates the bottle block instructions to reflect Homebrew’s audit
mechanism not crying about it locally.
