[ANNOUNCE] New makefile infrastructure

Hi.
I would like to announce that unified makefiles development branch was
merged to the upstream today. 
Main target of this branch is to simplify makefile structure and tight
it better to the configuration process.
This will be included also in upcoming next release.

I would like to ask you for help with testing. README file contains all
details about configure options. However if you need some assistance,
feel free to ask via pdfedit-devel@... (if you are not
list member write me before and I can allow your email address).

I have already tried:
* Debian (lenny/sid) 32b	OK
* OpenSuse 10.3 32b		OK
* Gentoo 64b			OK

I would especially like to see some feedback from packagers and their
feeling about these changes. All comments are welcome. Thx in advance

Quick list of new features:
---------------------------
- xpdf configuration was merged with the main configuration
- new Makefile.flags file which contains common logic for compilation
  (all makefiles from subdirectories include this file and provide only
  subdirectory specific stuff)
- no hacks for freetype2 detection
- type1 font libraries detection
- checks for CPPUNIT, boost libraries and docbook
- possibility to configure-out whole gui (only xpdf, kernel libraries
