00c58c3725 bootloader: add a guardian
BASE_BOOTLOADER must have been set to any of the supported
bootloader names somewhere during configuration; it is not
impossible to avoid this elsewhere so let's put a guardian
script which will stop the build which is known to result
in a broken image.

657c0bf6ef 00example, bootloader, install2: drop sub/main
sub/main subprofile should not be requested directly
as documented in its README but rather via use/repo/main;
let's fix this discrepancy and check that no regressions
come hurling down.

5b21100bed README update
These have been proofread somewhat to correspond
to the current state of affairs; a missing one
was added for fonts feature.

64536f62d1 bootloader README: a note on overriding
It's pretty ugly but dropping the current way
means losing the dependency tracking which is
critical to get the required alterator module
into install2.

c66e8ae242 several features forgot to show up in FEATURES
This could harm the debug...

37f050d227 features.in/bootloader: README update
The dependency is actually long gone since the current hack
is to just replace hardwired "grub" in an installer-steps
with whatever got configured...

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- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date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

5d37a0c54d avoid setting GLOBAL_* altogether
Applying set() and only set() to a GLOBAL_* is safe
but still a potentially confusing example; so let's
just do it right (and warn unsuspecting folks 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).

9475d199a0 fixed grub installer distros
These were broken since 5ff375aa10bee7937db457d3df3115f938bb6c77
due to no bootloader being tossed anymore by the very
installer-distro-altlinux-generic (which is the default)

20844de700 rough bootloader selection draft (grub/lilo)
NB: needs installer-distro-altlinux-generic = 6.0-alt2
    as it doesn't require alterator-grub indefinitely
