I happened to think of an acceptable way to fix those external
pages. When the external link is processed, a function can be called
to modify the external page.  This function would load the HTML
file as a binary block and perform a search for the standard "Back
to contents" text in the last 5KB. If not found, it would search
for the usual </body> tag and resave the file with the "Back to
contents" HTML chunk just before the </body> tag. Then we only need
to make sure allegro._tx is processed after all other ._tx files.

Hacky hacky. It could even work with the build/* files. Since
they are clearly external, we could write "Back to Allegro manual"
instead.
