[NOTE: I'm sending this to the main coreutils for lack of a dedicated
"coreutils-patch" list; I hope it's OK!]
OK, these are the easy pieces actually, but we have to start somewhere.
This series consists of:
- some preparatory refactorings;
- the merging of the "sub build systems" for 'doc/' and 'man/' in
the top-level one;
- some follow-up cleanings and fixlets;
- few independent, "while-we-are-at-it" fixlets and improvements.
It's worth noting that the above steps are mostly intermixed, i.e.,
the preparatory refactoring for the 'man/' merge comes after the
actual 'doc/' merge.
While this series is not perfect, it seems clear and clean enough,
and I think it's ready for inclusion (but any further testing would
be appreciated).
Thoughts, opinions, ACK, NAK?
