Directory /etc/WindowMaker is for global defaults configuration, it is not
a "data" folder which is $PREFIX/share/WindowMaker.
The name change make it more consistent with other names.
When the new configure option '--with-web-repo' is used, the new target
'make website' becomes available and will generate HTML pages to be placed
in the Homepage Repository.
This patch does not generate any content yet but it prepares the skeleton
to handle everything.

Make use of the standard macro for PKG_CONFIG; the default behaviour is now
to use Pango if present, instead of requiring explicit user request, yet
still not making it mandatory.
The detection code was moved to a macro to keep the configure.ac script
(relatively) small, and consistent with what is done for most other libs.

The library did not propose the mechanisms to be translated, this patch is
creating the structure in autoconf/automake and the translation directory
so its messages can be also translated.

When building into another directory than in the source, the hard-coded
relative path to the changelog will fail finding the file, causing an empty
date in the generated file when '@today' is used.
This patch is making sure the ChangeLog is taken in the source directory to
avoid any problem.

The compilation of the WRaster library needs the keyword
EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES in its Makefile so the configure.ac have been updated
to require at least the version of automake in which it is added.

When people cherry-pick the languages they want to install, they certainly
do not care for man pages in other languages. So, instead of always
installing them, the configure script will now automatically detect which
ones need to be installed.
Took opportunity to add a section in the I18N manual to invite contributors
to think about the man pages if contribute to translations.

As it is really unlikely that in normal use case someone would need this
feature, it is now conditional code, which is not enabled by default; the
configure scripts now propose a '--enable-wmreplace' option to enable the
corresponding code, as people making package for distributions may want to
enable the feature to provide users the ability to give a try of all the
window managers.

As pointed by Douglas Torrance, there are some case where the 2 docs
INSTALL-WMAKER and README.i18n are not re-generated properly, one of the
cases being if the user grabs the sources from Git to make a source package
only (ie, without compiling anything).
This patch adds a hook to "make dist" so it will re-generate the docs if
needed. Because the "dist-hook" is run after Automake has copied the files
to the temporary directory (distdir) then we also include an explicit copy
of the files there to have the latest version.

The usual way to define a macro in is to name macro with 'USE_xxx' when
they are used to enable a feature 'xxx'.
As the feature concerns the Dock and not DnD in general (WINGs support is
not disabled), make it a bit more clear in the macro name and document the
configure flag in the Installation Manual.
Took opportunity to compile the corresponding file only when the feature is
not disabled.

The old behaviour was to expect the user to go modify manually a source
file which is not a great idea because that's typically the kind of things
in charge of the configure script.
As a side effect, we can now use an automake conditional to avoid compiling
the source file in charge of the feature when not used, instead of trying
to compile an empty-looking file.

As there are many options, they have been split into 5 sections; added

Setting LANG/LINGUAS to en_RN should not be a problem with the current
configure script, so don't mention it;

Removed the 2 errors related to configure, because as the Autotool versions

- update the list of supported platforms according to current known status;
- updated URL links to all dependencies to the current known URL;
- moved the dependency on Autotools to a dedicated section, because it is
not supposed to be necessary for people compiling from the distributed
source archive, and updated the version according to current status;
- extended the chapter on getting the sources to contain all info that
could be needed;
- added a note about compiler requirement to ease understanding the actual
requirements;
- documented some long-time known dependancies (libbsd, inotify, boehm gc);
- fixed a few strings here and there;
- made an appropriate reference to the README.i18n for the troubleshooting
of NLS.

The source of the documentation is in Texinfo format to have the
possibility someday to distribute in more format that just plain text;
The INSTALL-WMAKER original file will now be generated automatically when
running the 'autogen.sh' script (for those who made a git-checkout) and
when running 'make' (for the people who create the distribution archive).
The current document have seen these changes:
- added all the texinfo header (including the copyright notice);
- texinfo formatting command in place everywhere applicable;
- re-ordering of the content to try to get a consistent document.
Apart from this, the document should not have seen any change on the
content, because this deserves dedicated patches to show the evolution.

The command in 'autogen.sh' was using an invalid syntax to call the script,
so the file was not generated; this patch fixes the invocation.
The test in the makefile was not correct because it would not generate the
file if it was deleted; now the check works whether the file exists or not,
and properly skips generation if it is read-only (for make distcheck).

The support for variables in the text-from-texi script is used to
automatically insert the current version of Window Maker, inherited from
the definition in the AC_INIT command, so it will be always correctly
updated without the need for hand work.
Having this version information is recommended by GNU texinfo because if
the document happens to get distributed outside a package it can help user
avoid problems.
The second use is to define a variable 'emailsupport' which contains the
email address of the development team, so we can also inherit it from the
AC_INIT setting.
The third use is for a special variable 'cctexi2txt' to differentiate
between texi2any and our script, because when using texi2any the title
page is not generated, so we need to duplicate some information in the
source, but we do not want it to appear twice in our generated doc.

it is a bit out of place, in favour of a standard DEFINE in the 'config.h'.

Autoconf have been providing the option '--localedir' for a long time now,

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.
