It's semi-automated.

  $rt = $srow["ruletext"];
  $re = "/(\d{3,4})\/(\d{1,2}[^\d])/" ;
  $rt = preg_replace($re,
    "<A HREF=\"http://www.nomic.net/~g6/history.php?rn=\\1\";>\\1/\\2</A>",
    $rt);

The regex isn't perfect, obviously, but it's reasonably close. It's
supposed to look for anything that's 3 or 4 digits, then a / , then one or
two digits. It was really only intended for rule revision histories; the
fact that such things show up elsewhere occasionally is just a convenient
bonus.
