fb0ebe0dfe Tweak the README -- make its text match the website, get rid of some of the
more detailed explanation (if they're reading the README, we probably don't
need to convince them about Valgrind's wonderfulness).

cc8ccbbfb4 This commit merges in changes from branches/ASPACEM (specifically,
changes from r4341 through r4787 inclusive).  That branch is now dead.
Please do not commit anything else to it.

For the most part the merge was not troublesome.  The main areas of
uncertainty are:

- build system: I had to import by hand Makefile.core-AM_CPPFLAGS.am
  and include it in a couple of places.  Building etc seems to still
  work, but I haven't tried building the documentation.

- syscall wrappers: Following analysis by Greg & Nick, a whole lot of
  stuff was moved from -generic to -linux after the branch was created.
  I think that is satisfactorily glued back together now.

- Regtests: although this appears to work, no .out files appear, which
  is strange, and makes it hard to diagnose regtest failures.  In
  particular memcheck/tests/x86/scalar.stderr.exp remains in a 
  conflicted state.

- amd64 is broken (slightly), and ppc32 will be unbuildable.  I'll
  attend to the former shortly.

44f0b4c6d5 Add README_DEVELOPERS to the 'make dist' tarball (since it's mentioned in
README), and add some instructions about attaching GDB to Valgrind itself
within it.

This fixes bug 90138.

fc9a6bbced Updated the README file. It had lots of out-of-date and incorrect information
in it, much of it from 1.0.X days.  Did it in such a way that if it doesn't get
touched (and it undoubtedly won't) it won't really go out of date, eg. by
removing temporary details like version numbers, dates, details of specific
software incompatibilities.  It's much better to be vague but correct, than
precise but incorrect;  having incorrect info in a file as important as the
README is bad.  Also removed the README_KDE3_FOLKS file because it's pretty
redundant now.  Also added some changes that had been made in the stable branch
but not the HEAD.

Did similar, but smaller changes to README_DEVELOPERS and README_PACKAGERS.

Also updated the valgrind.spec.in file to use the new, post-1.0.X description
in the README.

Also fixed a minor omission in Addrcheck's docs.
