Replace outdated mail archive URLs.
Globally replace URLs pointing to gmane.org or marc.theaimsgroup.com, preferably by archives.gentoo.org if the article is available there. As suggested by robbat2, also add the Message-ID and bibliographical information, in order to have a permanent reference to the message. Notes on single GLEPs: - GLEP 40: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/31060 had pointed to the first message of the thread (by g2boojum), not to stuart's followup. Corrected. - GLEP 57: Two messages in gentoo-dev from January/February 2005 and one message in gentoo-security from April 2003 are missing from Gentoo archives. Use marc.info instead.
