This is the second batch of makefile changes. Libg++ makefiles were
checked in earlier. These are Makefiles relevant to the progressive release currently in progress. * added exec_prefix * default bindir now exec_prefix/bin * default libdir now exec_prefix/lib * default mandir now prefix/man * default infodir now prefix/info * added oldincludedir, default NULL * remove all traces of the old -subdirs and -namesubdir support, including code, for loops, and all subdir/unsubdir stuff. * remove old style staging targets {de-}stage[1234], comparison, bootstrapN, from all but the bootstrappable tools. * added check targets. * removed any "Last Mod" lines. * forced copyrights to '92 and shifted some from Cygnus to FSF. * added tooldir and program_prefix where needed. * updated texinfo and man pages, removed all references to multiple hosts or targets.
