Hello All!

This series builds up on top of Samuel previous series, and further
enhances the GENDOC infrastructure to be useable to generate other
documents, and especially documents in br2-external.

The series is articulated as thus:

  - patches 1-3: from Samuel, virtually untouched by me, save for the
    location where the docs are built (patch 1), and the check for
    xsltproc (patch 3);

  - patches 4-13: properly separate our manual defintion from the actual
    infrastructure;

  - patches 14-15: make the gendoc infra behave more like the pkg
    infras, by using hooks rather than extra rules;

  - patch 16: workaround asciidoc deficiency when calling filters;

  - patches 17-18: move and rename 'gendoc' to 'doc-asciidoc';

  - patches 19-20: further tweak the new infra so it looks more like
    other infras: only call pkgdir and pkgname from the frontend macro,
    and use stamp files so we can use $(@D);

  - patches 21-22: add new locations where to get the AsciiDoc config
    files;

  - patch 23: always use UTC when generating the manual;

  - patch 24: allow using doc-asciidoc from br2-external;

  - patch 25: document this new infra in the manual.

Here is an example of using this new infra from a br2-external tree:

Changes v4 -> v5:

  - make it posible to use $(@D) in hooks
  - call post-extract hook in the same rule that does the rsync
  - rename the extra check dependencies hooks, to look more like real hooks
  - document the doc-asciidoc infra in the manual

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - only run the xsltproc check once, not for every types of outputs
  - add patches 5..18

Yann E. MORIN.
