Hi all

As a new user of liblouis documentation is very important to me to find
my way around. I had a few problems with the existing documentation as
the html and the text version in some cases did not seem to contain the
same information.

So to remedy the situation I created a texinfo version of the liblouis
guide. texinfo is the standard Gnu documentation format and can easily
be converted to html, pdf, txt and info.

What I also did is integrate the texinfo sources with the (automake)
build process, so that html, txt and info files are now generated
automatically in the build process (from the texinfo source), i.e. if
you do a `make dist' you'll get the html and txt versions of the
documentation generated and packed in the tar as before. The difference
is that only one document (the texinfo source) has to be maintained.

John, I don't know if you like this patch. I would certainly very happy
if you could include this in liblouis and I would help you in any way I
can to get this integrated.

Thanks
Christian Egli
