30b1aa9be6 toplevel build report now timestamped
Thanks torabora@ for yet again seemingly obvious feature request
which strangely managed to evade implementation before.

On an afterthought, mass builds would suggest too much coffee
instead of a progress indicator -- so implemented the latter.

NB: the actual downstream-make-calling rule would expand the "naive"
$(shell date) too early: the rule is evaluated before starting its
execution, and as it's the time consuming one the shell evaluation
was in need, not make's.  The result is less generally available
(needs to be double quoted and won't work inside e.g. awk programs)
but way more precise.

813571cb10 dump sources.list to build.log
The seemingly obvious feature was proposed by torabora@.
APTCONF complicates things a bit of course...
(and was slightly kludgy btw; fixed)

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)

...and create a symlink to a just-built image from builddir too.

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)
