71b5d53919 QUICKSTART: mention ~/tmp
This has to be present with default RPM macros, otherwise:

  rpmdb: /home/altlinux/tmp: No such file or directory
  rpmdb: unable to create temporary backing file

d1aaa2d3a5 QUICKSTART: tweaked build example for readability
aris@ suggested that the most important variables,
namely ARCH and APTCONF, be spelled out explicitly.

6fcbbccc4f QUICKSTART: mention `make help'
It wasn't really obvious what are the available targets;
sorry for that and thanks led@ for a suggestion.

eb3df648a2 minor documentation facelift
A few more items were asking for some attention.

In particular, build examples should start with
the most basic, error-proof and quick targets.

f8af1c9243 docs updated
Minor tweaks to toplevel docs as well as some doc/*.txt,
doc/variables.txt renamed to doc/params.txt, and a brand new
doc/pkglists.txt is added (thanks manowar@ for his considerations).

0ec7d7cd01 check vigorously for installed mkimage
It was briefly mentioned in QUICKSTART but somehow managed
to evade the commandlines provided.  And while at it, let's
make errors like this more explicit to avoid extra lookups.
Oh, and fix QUICKSTART so that readers miss the hassle. :)

Thanks Vladimir Karpinsky for pointing this problem out.

e93d6cabca docs: minor updates
doc/variables.txt was missing the already-existing BUILDLOG
variable description, and ARCHES got added during multi-target
toplevel rewrite.  Other minor fixes come as appropriate.

ddf0c5b7c7 full-view docs update
- toplevel README received some long-needed refactoring
  + lowlevel detail moved, well, to lowlevel READMEs
- reflected more thoroughly that m-p is not about distros anymore
- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date
  a bit, and there's no perceived need in thorough English docs so far
- wiki article got split into parts and somewhat rewritten, links updated
- mv doc/{CodingStyle,style.txt}

d5a5941f96 official {distro,ve}/* support
This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.

Short overview:

- features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
  (supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
  to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
  the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
  features mechanism along with makefile include dir)

- packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
  (should be better prepared for diversity either)
- features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
- features.in/ve  renamed to features.in/build-ve
  + NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
    due to completely different script hooks

- lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
- image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
- added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
- assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)

- clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
  and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)

- reviewed, updated and extended docs
  + QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
    (thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)
