I have merged this and the next 4 patches. I did a minimal test build
with some generic packages, autotools packages and cmake packages.
Besides minor formatting issues in the documentation, it all seemed to
work nicely. If not, I guess the autobuilders are going to tell us
fairly soon.

Now, the biggest thing is that I'll have to forget AUTOTARGETS,
GENTARGETS and CMAKETARGETS and remember autotools-package,
cmake-package and generic-package.

Thanks for doing this,

Thomas
