Do you have an example of how this looks in the built HTML?

My initial reaction is that while I think we should improve info on
where to find old docs, most users don't need them, so adding this to
alle pages might be a bit overkill...

Hmm, and now I see that we actually already have a link at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ to the old docs...
