Contrive things so that no code whatsover must be maintained outside

When adding Eclectus I had to edit following files:

- config/gen/languages.pm
- languages/LANGUAGES_STATUS.pod
And someone else updated MANIFEST for you. =-)
Adding info to LANGUAGES_STATUS.pod is reasonable.
config/gen/languages.pm handles the configuration of languages.
Primarily configuration is the generation of the file LANGUAGE/
Makefile.
I propose that languages should follow the 'dotnet' way, that does
configuration with:
cd LANGUAGE; perl Configure.pl.
Thus gen::languages could simply loop through the the subdirs of the
'languages' directory.
The language specific targets of 'languages/Makefile' could also be
generated from a loop over the subdirs of 'languages'.
The root Makefile also has a list of generated Makefiles of the
languages. This list could be done away with, with cleaning up is done
with 'make languages-realclean'.
Any comments ?
Seems reasonable.
