Clean up README files. Mostly this means changing them to pointers to
the real consolidated documentation. Delete old Doxygen-based rpkid manual and stuff that went with it, while retaining ability to generate Doxygen manual of internals for the libraries. This closes #232. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4424

-Installation instructions for rpkid et al.
-
-These are the production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs,
-etc). See the "rcynic" program for relying party tools.
-
-rpkid is a set of Python modules supporting generation and maintenance of
-resource certificates. Most of the code is in the rpkid/rpki/ directory. rpkid
-itself is a relatively small program that calls the library modules. There are
-several other programs that make use of the same libraries, as well as a
-collection of test programs.
-
-At present the package is intended to be run out of its build directory.
-Setting up proper installation in a system area using the Python distutils
-package would likely not be very hard but has not yet been done.
-
-Note that initial development of this code has been on FreeBSD, so installation
-will probably be easiest on FreeBSD.
-
-Before attempting to build the package, you need to install any missing
-prerequisites. Note that the Python code requires Python version 2.5 or 2.6.
-rpkid et al are mostly self-contained, but do require a small number of
-external packages to run.
-
-* If your Python installation does not already include the sources files needed
- to compile new Python extension modules, you will need to install whatever
- package does include those source files. The need for and name of this
- package varies from system to system. On FreeBSD, the base Python interpreter
- package includes the development sources; on at least some Linux
- distributions, you have to install a separate "python-devel" package or
- something similar. If you get compilation errors trying to build the POW code
- (below) and the error message says something about the file "Python.h" being
- missing, this is almost certainly your problem.
-
-* http://codespeak.net/lxml/, a Pythonic interface to the Gnome LibXML2
- libraries. lxml in turn requires the LibXML2 C libraries.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/py-lxml
- o Fedora: python-lxml.i386
- o Ubuntu: python-lxml
-
-* http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/, the Python "db" interface to
- MySQL. MySQLdb in turn requires MySQL client and server. rpkid et al have
- been tested with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb
- o Fedora: MySQL-python.i386
- o Ubuntu: python-mysqldb
-
-rpkid et al also make heavy use of a modified copy of the Python OpenSSL
-Wrappers (POW) package, but this copy has enough modifications and additions
-that it's included in the subversion tree.
-
-The next step is to build the OpenSSL and POW binaries. At present the OpenSSL
-code is just a snapshot of the OpenSSL development sources, compiled with
-special options to enable RFC 3779 support that ISC wrote under previous
-contract to ARIN. The POW (Python OpenSSL Wrapper) library is an extended copy
-of the stock POW release.
-
-To build these, cd to the top-level directory in the distribution, run the
-configure script, then run "make":
-
- $ cd $top
- $ ./configure
- $ make
-
-This should automatically build everything, in the right order, including
-linking the POW extension module with the OpenSSL library to provide RFC 3779
-support. If you get errors building POW, see the above discussion of Python
-development sources.
-
-The architecture is intended to support hardware signing modules (HSMs), but
-the code to support them has not been written.
-
-At this point, you should have all the necessary software installed to run the
-core programs, but you will probably want to test it. The test suite requires a
-few more external packages, only one of which is Python code.
-
-* http://pyyaml.org/. Several of the test programs use PyYAML to parse a YAML
- description of a simulated allocation hierarchy to test.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/py-yaml
- o Ubuntu: python-yaml
-
-* http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/. Some of the test code uses xsltproc, from the Gnome
- LibXSLT package.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt
- o Ubuntu: xsltproc
-
-All tests should be run from the rpkid/ directories.
-
-Some of the tests require MySQL databases to store their data. To set up all
-the databases that the tests will need, run the SQL commands in rpkid/tests/
-smoketest.setup.sql. The MySQL command line client is usually the easiest way
-to do this, eg:
-
- $ cd $top/rpkid
- $ mysql -u root -p <tests/smoketest.setup.sql
-
-To run the tests, run "make all-tests":
-
- $ cd $top/rpkid
- $ make all-tests
-
-If nothing explodes, your installation is probably ok. Any Python backtraces in
-the output indicate a problem.
-
-There's a last set of tools that only developers should need, as they're only
-used when modifying schemas or regenerating the documentation. These tools are
-listed here for completeness.
-
-* http://www.doxygen.org/. Doxygen in turn pulls in several other tools,
- notably Graphviz, pdfLaTeX, and Ghostscript.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/devel/doxygen
- o Ubuntu: doxygen
-
-* http://www.mbayer.de/html2text/. The documentation build process uses
- xsltproc and html2text to dump flat text versions of a few critical
- documentation pages.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/textproc/html2text
-
-* http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html. Trang is used to convert
- RelaxNG schemas from the human-readable "compact" form to the XML form that
- LibXML2 understands. Trang in turn requires Java.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/textproc/trang
-
-* http://search.cpan.org/dist/SQL-Translator/. SQL-Translator, also known as
- "SQL Fairy", includes code to parse an SQL schema and dump a description of
- it as Graphviz input. SQL Fairy in turn requires Perl.
-
- o FreeBSD: /usr/ports/databases/p5-SQL-Translator
-
-Once you've finished with installation, the next thing you should read is the
-Configuration_Guide.
