e26dcaf81e The Books and Articles section was very choppy due to its cut-and-paste
origins and prior edits.  Polish it.

f6b1b0cc33 If NO_LANGCODE_IN_DESTDIR is defined, don't put the language code in
DESTDIR.  This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language.  This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory.  This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive.  Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

4e372c6746 Whitespace-only commit that can be ignored by translators.
The 1.2->1.4 deltas caused the indentation of this document to become
massively...well...confused.  Try to fix this.

d97e531329 Reorganization of FreeBSD README document. This change adds no new
content or whitespace changes; it just moves sections around for
better organization; the content of this file used to be fairly
fragmented because it originally was derived from parts of several other
documents.

The first half of "About FreeBSD" has been pulled into the Introduction
section.  The remainder of "About FreeBSD" plus the "Release Documentation"
section now make up a new <sect1></sect1> level section entitled
"Further Reading".

1d0372b2af Collapse the seven *.sgml files containing the content of the README
document into article.sgml.  Move the $FreeBSD$ tag from a
comment to a <pubdate></pubdate> entry, but no other content
or whitespace changes.

The two reasons for doing this are to:  1) Get rid of a bunch of
itty-bitty files and 2) help with a reorganization of the README that
will be much simpler if all the content is in a single file.

to the Handbook for more documentation sources.  Mention INSTALL.TXT

7450e06249 Change the way the value of DESTDIR is determined for the release
notes build. Instead of having doc.relnotes.mk make a guess, hardcode
quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree.  This has the advantage of actually
working properly (which is a Good Thing(tm)), and the disadvantages of
more files in the repository and more hardcoded paths (which are both
Bad Things(tm)).

1eb55ff65d RELNOTESng infrastructure fixes:
1.  There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.

2.  Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.

703471ec7f Build system:
o Define a RELN_ROOT variable which points to the root of the relnotes
  tree (i.e., src/release/doc).
o By default, define DOC_PREFIX in terms of RELN_ROOT; this gives a
  bigger chance of finding the doc/ tree without help in the form of
  setting DOC_PREFIX on the command line.
o Respect DOCDIR; `make install` works now.
