Using the CMake module GNUInstallDirs to set up standard locations
which allows better customisation for packagers building for various
distributions.
The change does change some internal package file paths and will leave
some files in old locations in Windows installations. Running
uninstall is probably wise on Windows before installing this new
package layout if future clean uninstalls are desired.
Linux and other *nix package maintainers can use the CMake variables
CMAKE_INSTALL_xxx to vary the install paths of various components. See
the CMake GNUInstallDirs module documentation for more details. An
example might be for Slackware where package documents are expected to
be installed into
<install-prefix>/doc/<package-name>-<package-version>/ whereas the GNU
default is to install them into
<install-prefix>/share/doc/<package-name>/. To achieve this set the
CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR as follows when configuring:
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR:PATH=doc/wsjtx-1.7.1 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= ...
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@7623 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
Locations of various components to be determined at configuration
time. This allows various "Standard" system layouts to be
accomodated. For example on FreeBSD the manpages are usually installed
in the man directory i.e. /usr/local/man whereas the WSJT-X default is
to install them in share/man i.e. /usr/share/man. By setting the CMake
variable WSJT_MANPAGE_DESTINATION to either a relative or absolute
path the install location can be set:
$ cmake -D WSJT_MANPAGE_DESTINATION=. ...
will install the manpages at ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/man
The new configuration variables are:
WSJT_BIN_DESTINATION
WSJT_LIB_DESTINATION
WSJT_SHARE_DESTINATION
WSJT_DOC_DESTINATION
WSJT_DATA_DESTINATION
WSJT_MANPAGE_DESTINATION
WSJT_PLUGIN_DESTINATION
WSJT_QT_CONF_DESTINATION
NB: changes to the above may break WSJT-X at present where the install
locations of files used directly by WSJT-X are moved.
Warning: using absolute paths for these variables is not recommended
as files may be installed in unexpected places, particularly when run
with root privileges. All relative paths with be relative to
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

The location of documentation files on Linux distributions is
controlled to a certain extent. Using the QStandardPaths::locate()
method helps us with this.
Work round the misbehaviour of QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()
when the CWD has been changed by working out the documentation
location before changing the CWD to a temporary directory. This path
is now provided by the Configuration settings class which also manages
other run time paths.
Updated Debian packaging to move a little nearer a conforming DEB
file.
Added a basic manpage for rigctld-wsjtx.

part of r4046. These caused GUI installer packages to be incomplete.

Non-Debug build on *nix platforms now require a2x, it is optional
for other build configurations.

Added a manpages sub-project to generate man pages for wsjtx from
AsciiDoc source.
Add items required by Debian packaging and Free Desktop Standards.
Add better command line processing to wsjtx including version and help
options.
Add a new command line option 'test-mode' that invokes the Qt test
mode where all writable file locations are moved to a common
directory. This is to allow application testing from a repeatable
start point rather than have the test application sharing files with
normal operations. See QStandardPaths::setTestModeEnabled() for
details of the test location.
