Jonas Fonseca ba6221c6f6 Redo the whole doc/ build thing 
You can now use: make {all-docs,pdf,html,man,api,update-man}
     instead of: make {all-docs,pdf-docs,html-docs,man-docs}

Away is building into separate dirs. This makes make able to actually get
dependencies right, since there are now a collection of 'common' build
rules, some of which have even been moved to use the cmd infrastructure.

To update the man pages there is a new update-man rule. It builds the
manual pages and copies them to their proper place under man/ while doing
the final preformatting.

As good thing is that the (two) man pages are moved to .txt files and
include the generated content.

The API building thing is also refined. It builds into api/ and builds it's
list of files dynamically by searching throught the .h files in the src/
directory. Documented header files must contain a comment like this:

	/* API Doc :: <api-name> */

where <api-name> is the name used for the file under api/, for example
dom-scanner.

.TH "ELINKS" 1 "The ELinks text-browser" "2006-01-11" "The ELinks text-browser"
.SH NAME
elinks \- lynx-like alternative character mode WWW browser
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fIelinks\fR [OPTION]... [URL]...
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fIELinks\fR is a text mode WWW browser, supporting colors, table rendering, background downloading, menu driven configuration interface, tabbed browsing and slim code\&.
Frames are supported\&. You can have different file formats associated with external viewers\&. mailto: and telnet: are supported via external clients\&.
ELinks can handle both local files and remote URLs\&. The main supported remote URL protocols are \fIHTTP\fR, \fIHTTPS\fR (with SSL support compiled in) and \fIFTP\fR\&. Additional protocol support exists for \fIfinger\fR, \fIGopher\fR, \fISMB\fR and \fINNTP\fR\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
Most options can be set in the user interface or config file, so usually you do not need to care about them\&. Note that this list is by no means complete and it is not kept up\-to\-date\&. To get complete list of commandline options, start \fIELinks\fR with parameter \-\-help\&.
.TP
\-anonymous [0|1] (default: 0)
Restricts \fIELinks\fR so it can run on an anonymous account\&. Local file browsing, downloads, and modification of options will be disabled\&. Execution of viewers is allowed, but entries in the association table can't be added or modified\&.
.TP
\-auto\-submit [0|1] (default: 0)
Automatically submit the first form in the given URLs\&.
.TP
\-base\-session <num> (default: 0)
Used internally when opening \fIELinks\fR instances in new windows\&. The ID maps to information that will be used when creating the new instance\&. You don't want to use it\&.
.TP
\-config\-dir <str> (default: "")
Path of the directory \fIELinks\fR will read and write its config and runtime state files to instead of ~/\&.elinks\&. If the path does not begin with a '/' it is assumed to be relative to your \fIHOME\fR directory\&.
.TP
\-config\-dump
Print a configuration file with options set to the built\-in defaults to stdout\&.
.TP
\-config\-file <str> (default: "elinks\&.conf")
Name of the configuration file that all configuration options will be read from and written to\&. It should be relative to config\-dir\&.
.TP
\-config\-help
Print help for configuration options and exit\&.
.TP
\-default\-mime\-type (alias for mime\&.default_type)
The default MIME type used for documents of unknown type\&.
.TP
\-default\-keys [0|1] (default: 0)
When set, all keybindings from configuration files will be ignored\&. It forces use of default keybindings and will reset user\-defined ones on save\&.
.TP
\-dump [0|1] (default: 0)
Print formatted plain\-text versions of given URLs to stdout\&.
.TP
\-dump\-charset (alias for document\&.dump\&.codepage)
Codepage used when formatting dump output\&.
.TP
\-dump\-width (alias for document\&.dump\&.width)
Width of the dump output\&.
.TP
\-eval
Specify configuration file directives on the command\-line which will be evaluated after all configuration files has been read\&. Example usage:
.nf
\-eval 'set protocol\&.file\&.allow_special_files = 1'
.fi
.TP
\-force\-html
Makes \fIELinks\fR assume documents of unknown types are HTML\&. Useful when using \fIELinks\fR as an external viewer from MUAs\&. This is equivalent to \-default\-mime\-type text/html\&.
.TP
\-?, \-h, \-help
Print usage help and exit\&.
.TP
\-localhost [0|1] (default: 0)
Restricts \fIELinks\fR to work offline and only connect to servers with local addresses (ie\&. 127\&.0\&.0\&.1)\&. No connections to remote servers will be permitted\&.
.TP
\-long\-help
Print detailed usage help and exit\&.
.TP
\-lookup
Look up specified host and print all DNS resolved IP addresses\&.
.TP
\-no\-connect [0|1] (default: 0)
Run \fIELinks\fR as a separate instance instead of connecting to an existing instance\&. Note that normally no runtime state files (bookmarks, history, etc\&.) are written to the disk when this option is used\&. See also \-touch\-files\&.
.TP
\-no\-home [0|1] (default: 0)
Disables creation and use of files in the user specific home configuration directory (~/\&.elinks)\&. It forces default configuration values to be used and disables saving of runtime state files\&.
.TP
\-no\-numbering (alias for document\&.dump\&.numbering)
Prevents printing of link number in dump output\&. Note that this really affects only \-dump, nothing else\&.
.TP
\-no\-references (alias for document\&.dump\&.references)
Prevents printing of references (URIs) of document links in dump output\&. Note that this really affects only \-dump, nothing else\&.
.TP
\-remote
Control a remote \fIELinks\fR instance by passing commands to it\&. The option takes an additional argument containing the method which should be invoked and any parameters that should be passed to it\&. For ease of use, the additional method argument can be omitted in which case any URL arguments will be opened in new tabs in the remote instance\&. Following is a list of the supported methods:
.RS
.TP 3
\(bu
ping(): look for a remote instance
.TP
\(bu
openURL(): prompt URL in current tab
.TP
\(bu
openURL(URL): open URL in current tab
.TP
\(bu
openURL(URL, new\-tab): open URL in new tab
.TP
\(bu
openURL(URL, new\-window): open URL in new window
.TP
\(bu
addBookmark(URL): bookmark URL
.TP
\(bu
infoBox(text): show text in a message box
.TP
\(bu
xfeDoCommand(openBrowser): open new window
.LP
.RE
.IP
.TP
\-session\-ring <num> (default: 0)
ID of session ring this \fIELinks\fR session should connect to\&. \fIELinks\fR works in so\-called session rings, whereby all instances of \fIELinks\fR are interconnected and share state (cache, bookmarks, cookies, and so on)\&. By default, all \fIELinks\fR instances connect to session ring 0\&. You can change that behaviour with this switch and form as many session rings as you want\&. Obviously, if the session\-ring with this number doesn't exist yet, it's created and this 'ELinks' instance will become the master instance (that usually doesn't matter for you as a user much)\&. Note that you usually don't want to use this unless you're a developer and you want to do some testing \- if you want the \fIELinks\fR instances each running standalone, rather use the \-no\-connect command\-line option\&. Also note that normally no runtime state files are written to the disk when this option is used\&. See also \-touch\-files\&.
.TP
\-source [0|1] (default: 0)
Print given URLs in source form to stdout\&.
.TP
\-touch\-files [0|1] (default: 0)
When enabled, runtime state files (bookmarks, history, etc\&.) are written to disk, even when \-no\-connect or \-session\-ring is used\&. The option has no effect if not used in conjunction with any of these options\&.
.TP
\-verbose <num> (default: 1)
The verbose level controls what messages are shown at start up and while running:
.RS
.TP 3
\(bu
0: means only show serious errors
.TP
\(bu
1: means show serious errors and warnings
.TP
\(bu
2: means show all messages
.LP
