In order to improve the amount of things that are checked by the make
distcheck command, this patch enables support for I18N with all the
languages that are supported.
To achieve this, this patch adds the non-standard special case LINGUAS='*'
which automatically enable all known languages.

Renamed it to '--disable-xlocale' because the original name is misleading
about what the option really is for (it sets locale for X, not locales in
general) and updated its documentation;
Added checks to report incorrect uses to the user;
It is now possible to use '--enable-xlocale' to explicitely request for the
feature, so configure would stop if it were not found.

The idea is to include consistency check to warn the user if he is not
using it properly, instead of silently misbehaving;
Updated code style to use Autoconf macros for consistency.
Took opportunity to remove the hacky setting inside 'config-paths.h' where
it is a bit out of place, in favour of a standard DEFINE in the 'config.h'.
Include in the i18n documentation the explanation on how Window Maker
translates the menus, both when the 'menu-textdomain' option is used and
when it is not.

Autoconf have been providing the option '--localedir' for a long time now,
so this patch removes the deprecated '--with-nls' option and makes use of
the standard '--localedir' instead.
Took opportunity to define the path in the 'config-paths.h' in the same way
the other paths are defined to be consistent, which also simplify the
compilation commands.

Now that the setup in configure.ac have been cleaned, moved the original
documentation from the 'INSTALL-WMAKER' file into the dedicated doc
'README.i18n' and updated it.
The information is completely removed from 'INSTALL-WMAKER' with an
invitation to see the new i18n doc in order to keep that file relatively
small and to avoid duplicating information, which is always harder to
maintain.

The program may not be installed because it is not needed for non-dev
activities, so it is better to check at the beginning than to let the
compilation fail later. The check is done only if the user has specified
that he wants to install translations.
Took the opportunity to make the generation of "mo" file follow the silent
rules in Makefiles if user enabled them.

The main change is to use Autoconf's syntax for consistency;
Now the detected program is used in the makefiles (user has the possibility
to change the name of the command);
A conditional is used to avoid enabling make targets that would fail if
the command does not exist.
Took opportunity to implement the silent-rules compliance to POT generation
rules.

The code was moved to a dedicated file (wm_i18n.m4) to reduce the size of
configure.ac;
It now searches for gettext+libintl only if LINGUAS is specified, because
there is no need for them otherwise;
The list of supported locales is created automatically from the list of
files present in the source tree, so there won't be problem forgetting to
update the variables when a new language is added, or removed because
one is considered outdated;
The new syntax is now using as much as possible Autoconf's syntax to ensure
consistency and better portability;
Took opportunity to improve the language check loop to make it smaller and
to tell when a locale that the user asked for is not fully supported.

The source of the documentation is in Texinfo format to have the
possibility someday to distribute in more format that just plain text;
There is a new Makefile to generate automatically the plain text file to be
distributed from the source; this doc is also generated by 'autogen.sh'
because a user would expect to find it before compiling the program, so
even before the 'configure' script have been generated, in the case he is
compiling from a git checkout;
There is a new script to generate the documentation, because from the way
we generate it we cannot assume that 'texi2any' is available and working
on the user's computer; it is also the opportunity to generate a better
looking document (see the description at the beginning of the script);
In this commit, the documentation only contains the base skeleton, it does
not contain yet any useful content because it is worth it's own commit.

Having the name of the domain hard-coded in many places in the makefiles
makes it harder to maintain them, specially because much code is duplicated
between the makefiles that handle po files.
There is now the variable DOMAIN that is set once in each concerned
makefile, and the rest of the makefile makes use of it.

Because the source file is redefined in the 'po/' directories, there is a
possibility that they get misaligned.
There is now a script that will check everything is in line; it is
triggered by "make check".
The case of the "util/" stuff is excluded at current time because the way
they are defined makes it hard to properly deduce the correct list of
sources, and it is not worth, the core need being on wmaker and WPrefs.

Instead of having to maintain manually the map file for LD with the list of
symbols that we want to keep in the WRaster library (the purpose is to hide
internal symbols), this patch implements a script that parses the public
API header and extracts automatically the list of names that are supposed
to be visible to the user.
The goal is to reduce possible human errors, like for example the function
RCombineAlpha that was forgotten from the list, yet still keep the map file
feature which is considered a good practice (it reduces the risk for name
clash and the risk of mis-use of internal stuff from the library).

This new version now checks that version script with syntax error are
rejected, it probably led to mis-detect the option as supported when it was
actually just ignored with at most a warning; it also now implement caching
of the result to speed-up re-run of configure if user enabled it.

In addition to proper quoting for M4, the macro would not behave totally as
expected: for example, providing '--disable-modelock' would enable the
feature instead of keeping it disabled as the default.
The definitions now properly behave as expectable, so the user can
explicitly specify how he wants the feature even if it is the default; it
will also fail on improper use which is always a good idea to ease possible
future evolution.

This patch brings more consistency in the presentation of comments,

Some macros have evolved, so this patch brings the appropriate updates:
- AC_OUTPUT(...) is now split in AC_CONFIG_FILES(...) and AC_OUTPUT, took
the opportunity to sort the list of files so it is easier to maintain
- the macro AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is now replaced by the more generic
AC_CHECK_DECLS([sys_siglist]), but as it turns out that we're not using it,
the check was just removed
- autoconf assumes that AC_TYPE_SIGNAL is deprecated because the type was
fixed since C89, but as we expect to still run on old hardware, we keep the
macro given by autoupdate on our side for when Autoconf will stop providing
the macro

The name of the 2 settings have been changed:
- enable: MiniwindowApercuBalloons -> MiniwindowPreviewBalloons

To be consistent, all place where the not-properly-written "apercu" was
used in the source code (of wmaker and WPrefs) it has been replaced by an
appropriate "minipreview" or similar, to be in line with the new name
suggested by Yuri Tarasievich.

but not this word which comes From french but is sparsely understood by
british people.

Having an thing whose name requires special UTF-8 character to be properly
displayed is a source of portability problem (including xgettext issue
reported by Alwin);

Great Britain, but not by international english speaking community;
This patch then replace it by the "Mini-Preview" suggested by Yuri
Tarasievich, which is more likely to be understood.

To be consistent with the rest of the project's behaviour, do not try to
compile what is in the toplevel's "test" directory for a normal
compilation.
The content of this directory does not really test anything, so it is not
useful for users, and there is always the risk that it could break
compilation because it is not heavily maintained (and does not deserves to)
so this patch just skips the directory, as already done for wrlib/tests/
and WINGs/Tests.

As found by Rodolfo García Peñas, this flag is never given a value; further
investigations in the history of the project show that this flag have never
been implemented because its action is totally redundant with the flag
"noupdate".
As the later flag's name is more clear about what the behaviour for the
user is, as opposed to what is being done under the hood, its name is kept
and the "nopolling" flag is removed.

The Icon preference panel have been rearranged to include a slider which

As discovered by Douglas Torrance, this flag is not really portable, so
this patch adds a check in the configure script to detect if any known
define could help. If no value works, we fall back to defining it with the
neutral value '0', so the compilation will not fail.

Unfortunately, the detection was broken because the header is using a hack
on the function name to provide compatibility between different versions of
the API, which means the usual link test, which uses a known name of a
symbol, cannot work without also using the header to get the hack applied
on the function's name.
The new detection mechanism now simply check for both header and link at
the same time, so we're probably safe until a Major API change is decided,
in which case we will also have to update WRaster's code anyway.

As reported by Moritz, the Qt toolkit (and maybe a few other ones) are
using the content of this property, but WindowMaker did not set it properly
so for examples the menus in KDE could fail to display in multi-screen
configuration (probably because the toolkit is using the property to make
sure the menu stays in the visible area).
The original code just assumed it was safe to use the usable area of the
1st screen in the list, but unfortunately it is not that simple.
The new code calculates a rectangle that contains the usable region from
all the screens, so the toolkit gets a more accurate value.
