All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
We no longer expect firmware files to be in the
$prefix/share/libsigrok/firmware directory, as that would require an
additional (distro) package 'sigrok-firmware' or the like to install
files into another package's (libsigrok) path, which can be problematic.
The current 'sigrok-firmware' repo's "make install" will already install
all files into $prefix/share/sigrok-firmware.
If the (generated) ChangeLog file is marked for DISTCLEANFILES, it'll be
removed whenever "make distclean" is called (and is then gone forever if
you use the tarballs, for example).
The udev rules file is libsigrok-specific, the gnuplot files too.
The nsis files stay in the top-level contrib/ for now, they're not
really part of any of the (sub-)projects, but rather are used to create
a single Windows .exe installer for all of them.
In the lib, we should only #include "sigrok.h" or "sigrok-internal.h",
but not the (possibly installed and thus different/older versions) via
<sigrok.h> or <sigrok-internal.h>.
Frontends should of course use <sigrok.h> and <sigrok-internal.h>.
We should use these (internal) functions in libsigrok exclusively from
now on, i.e. no more use of glib's g_debug() etc.
These functions are only for libsigrok, the frontends use whatever
logging mechanism is suitable there.
Use libtool "noinst" local helper libs and use one Makefile.am per
subdir, which is the usual/preferred method. These helper libraries are
purely local and will not be installed.
This also fixes out-of-tree builds of sigrok, i.e. building in a
directory other than the sigrok source directory, e.g.
$ cd /home/user
$ git clone ...sigrok
$ cd sigrok
$ ./autogen.sh
$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ cd /tmp/foo
$ /home/user/sigrok/configure
$ make
$ make install
This will place all build results (.o files, .la files, etc) in the
local build directory (/tmp/foo) instead of the source directory
(/home/user/sigrok in this example). The installation directory is
selected via the --prefix configure option (/usr/local per default).
