Description

The move from xdocs to APT introduced a formatting bug so that the sub-list under Usage point 4 was merged into the text itself and no longer appeared as a sub-list. Compare xdocs version http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.2.1/native_libraries.html#Native+Hadoop+Library to APT version http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/NativeLibraries.html#Native_Hadoop_Library.

The patch is to trunk, but is also valid for released versions 0.23.11, 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, and 2.5.0, and could be back-ported to them if deemed necessary.
