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.

a543c9d5fb conf.d/README: minor clarification
COMMON_PACKAGES make it into basesystem like BASE_PACKAGES,
not just into RPMS.main like MAIN_PACKAGES.

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- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date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

e8306860f1 introduced conf.d/ for distro, ve config snippets
This was asked for by Leo-sp50 and torabora, and seems quite reasonable:
let's provide means to keep at least some distribution configurations
a bit apart, so that these can be considered more standalone in terms
of hard warranted functionality but at the same time enjoying the common
infrastructure.

Considering lib/distro.mk: it's now experimentally pulled apart so that
parallel development of different distro families can go on without
major merge hassles.  *Please* don't abuse with massive copy-paste.

And before you ask: this might get extended to allow for "private"
out-of-tree configurations being included since apparently there
are goals with no meaning outside of some very particular context...
but otherwise I'd like to encourage getting reusable bits in-tree.
