This was a `sed'-based change, where I didn't review every single detail and
thus hope that I didn't break anything. Replace `MiG' with `MIG'. Replace `MIG' with `GNU MIG' and `The GNU Hurd' with `GNU Hurd' when linking to the pages. Make the space between `GNU' and `Hurd' or `Mach' or `MIG' non-breakable.
