Correct and improve many buildconf and code logic blocks. In particular:
1. Document potential problems building with current binutils releases.
2. Document the flawed webkit and explain its temporary exclusion.
3. Document the edition of Qt which is built and installed.
4. Remove the Solaris x11_supdir logic as it is no longer found.
5. Correct several .pr[io] files including QMAKE_CXXFLAGS and INCPATH,
which previously caused preexisting Qt installations to deliver
erroneous old include and library logic instead of relying on
that of the currently building package. -I/opkg/include is now
placed at the end of the compile statements.
6. Don't trust the QMAKE_[INC|LIB]DIR_X11 identifiers in qmake.conf.
7. Allow more 64-bit builds and more properly identify the platform.
8. Place plugins (which are shared objects) in lib instead of share.
9. Build components as plugins when possible if with_shared is enabled.
10. Translate German text to English to be more consistent.
11. Instead of removing the pkgconfig directory of with_shared builds,
place it in a child directory useful for shared building.
12. Document the nonstandard shared build directory structure,
including using the hidden pkgconfig directory (PKG_CONFIG_PATH.)
13. Change %doc to specify files rather than directories in the RPM DB.

    31 B<rpm-config> - OpenPKG RPM library build utility
    33 =head1 VERSION
    35 OpenPKG RPM RPM_VERSION
    37 =head1 SYNOPSIS
    39 B<rpm-config>
    40 [B<--help>]
    41 [B<--version>]
    42 [B<--cc>]
    43 [B<--cppflags>]
    44 [B<--cflags>]
    45 [B<--ldflags>]
    46 [B<--libs>]
    48 =head1 DESCRIPTION
    50 The B<rpm-config> program is a little helper utility for easy
    51 configuring and building applications based on the OpenPKG RPM library.
    52 It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are
    53 required to correctly compile and link the application against the
    54 RPM library.
    56 =head1 OPTIONS
    58 B<rpm-config> accepts the following options:
    60 =over 4
    62 =item B<--help>
    64 Prints the short usage information.
    66 =item B<--version>
    68 Prints the version number and date of the installed RPM library.
    70 =item B<--cc>
    72 =item B<--cppflags>
    74 Prints the C pre-processor flags (C<-I>) which are needed to compile the
    75 RPM-based application. The output is usually added to the C<CPPFLAGS>
    76 variable of the applications C<Makefile>.
    78 =item B<--cflags>
    80 Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the RPM-based
    81 application. The output is usually added to the C<CFLAGS> variable of the
    82 applications C<Makefile>.
    84 =item B<--ldflags>
    86 Prints the linker flags (C<-L>) which are needed to link the application with
    87 the RPM library. The output is usually added to the C<LDFLAGS> variable of
    88 the applications C<Makefile>.
    90 =item B<--libs>
    92 Prints the library flags (C<-l>) which are needed to link the application with
    93 the RPM library. The output is usually added to the C<LIBS> variable of the
    94 applications C<Makefile>.

   103  LDFLAGS  = `rpm-config --ldflags`
   104  LIBS     = `rpm-config --libs`
   106  all: foo
   108  foo: foo.o
   109      $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
   111  foo.o: foo.c
   112      $(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -o foo.o -c foo.c
