llvm dev - Jul 2016 - Old mailing list links broken.

Hi Tanya,

I was spelunking through bugzilla and ran into an old mailing list link
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2006-January/005137.html (found
in PR36).

I expect this link to be broken since our servers are not on that domain.
No big deal, just change it to lists.llvm.org:

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvmdev/2006-January/005137.html

Looks like that doesn't exist, as the list has been renamed to llvm-dev.
Next try:

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2006-January/005137.html

Success! .... or is it? This doesn't look like the correct post that was
being linked :(

Is there some way for us to get to the intended page for these links?
(possibly with some mechanical transformations to the URL). It would be a
shame to not be able to follow these cross-references from the old mailing
list URL's.

Sean,

IIRC, at some point in the past mailman was upgraded and this broke
the archive links...

No big deal, just change it to lists.llvm.org <http://lists.llvm.org/>:

Unfortunately, UIUC is unable to auto-forward to lists.llvm.org (which would fix
most of the problem). However, the change in numbering is not something I think
can be fixed.

So, I think we are stuck with this..

I'm not too worried about this part.
