This file was converted from text at the early ReST days. We learnt a lot about how to produce a nicer result while keeping the file better readable as plain text. Change some ReST markups to make it look better, both at the output formats and as plain text file. While here, remove references for the old bt848/winutil tool, as it seems that it doesn't exist anymore.
