d6972a39bf introduced THE_{KMODULES,PACKAGES,LISTS,GROUPS}
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.

So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.

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- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date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}

83392012d4 live-builder distro: your self-hosted livecd
If you make distro/live-builder.iso, the result is an image
containing almost everything (short of actual full enough
repository) to rebuild itself.  It will attempt to configure
eth0 with DHCP and reach http://ftp.altlinux.org for packages.

RAM requirements start with 2Gb, self-build is accomplished
on a 4Gb host with "make CLEAN=1 distro/live-builder.iso".

Packages required for "make distro/syslinux.iso" get included.

(some due fixups all over the place too)

fba30e0675 docs update
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).
