The texinfo format provides 3 commands @ref, @xref and @pxref to make cross references to existing @nodes in the document; it also provides a command @anchor to place arbitrary targets for cross-reference. Because these will be handy for the Installation Manual that already does some references, this patch implements the 4 commands: - change the '@node' command, that did nothing, to now track potential reference points; - add the '@anchor' command to register a new target for x-ref; - implement the 3 '@*ref' commands with similar behaviour as the texinfo format states, with support for all arguments, generating a temporary "@x##@" pattern for the line target; - generate a new file (*.xrf, a sed script) at the end with the replacement for x-ref patterns with the correct line number, and perform a few consistency checks; - during the final search-and-replace used to insert the Table of Content, include the x-ref replacement. The current script has some limitations: - because we cannot know in advance the target line number for the x-ref, we insert it with a constant size of 5 characters to avoid breaking the justification alignment when doing the replace; - there is a strict order to respect between @node and @chapter/@section, which is needed because we have to include a line offset to get it right when using the order given in the texinfo manual.
