I=E2=80=99ve just merged core-updates in =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99, yay!

As a reminder, some of the cool things for packagers:

  =E2=80=A2 =E2=80=98search-path-specification=E2=80=99 can now specify fil=
es (instead of plain
    directories) or even file pattern (for example, =E2=80=98catalog.xml=E2=
=80=99 for
    libxml2, or maybe =E2=80=98\\.cmake$=E2=80=99 for CMake)  This should u=
nlock a few
    things.

  =E2=80=A2 The ld wrapper now adds a =E2=80=98-rpath=E2=80=99 flag for lib=
raries passed by file
    name (as in =E2=80=9C/path/to/libfoo.so=E2=80=9D instead of =E2=80=9C-L=
/path/to -lfoo=E2=80=9D.)
    This will be useful for CMake-generated makefiles, notably.

  =E2=80=A2 =E2=80=98libltdl=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98libtool=E2=80=99 are now=
 separate.

For users:

  =E2=80=A2 Documentation is now systematically in share/{man,info}, and it=
 is
    compressed.

  =E2=80=A2 The =E2=80=98glibc=E2=80=99 package no longer has a =E2=80=9Clo=
cale=E2=80=9D output, making it
    faster to build, and much smaller (the =E2=80=9Clocale=E2=80=9D output =
was always
    pulled, and it took 110 MiB.)

  =E2=80=A2 A bunch of updates, notably GCC 4.8.4, Binutils 2.25,
    xorg-server 1.16.3.

Enjoy!
