macOS is a UNIX(R) and FreeBSD isn't a UNIX(R), but we mentioned macOS
along with UNIX but didn't mention FreeBSD along with UNIX.
Instead, just speak of "UN*Xes" and give Linux, macOS, and *BSD as
examples. Feel free to add Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX if you want, assuming
you can build Wireshark on them.

Switch the markup text processor for files in the docbook directory from
AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has several useful features (such
as direct PDF output) and is actively developed. It's written in Ruby
but that dependency can be sidestepped with AsciidoctorJ, a
self-contained bundle that only depends on the JRE.
The current toolchain targets require Python, AsciiDoc, DocBook XML,
DocBook XSL, Java, FOP, xsltproc, lynx, and the HTMLHelp compiler:
HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → FOP
HTMLHelp: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
This change removes the AsciiDoc and FOP requirements and adds either
AsciidoctorJ or Asciidoctor + Ruby:
HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: Asciidoctor
HTMLHelp: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
Ideally we could generate all of these using AsciidoctorJ, Java, and
lynx. Unfortunately we're not there yet.
The release notes depend on several macros (ws-buglink, ws-salink,
cve-idlink, sort-and-group). Add Asciidoctor (Ruby) equivalents.
Remove the BUILD_xxx_GUIDES CMake options and add various output targets
automatically. This means that you have to build the various documentation
targets explicitly.

Our Windows portable packaging environment has a lot of cruft which is
no longer relevant. We removed support for U3 packages and the method
we use to generate PortableApps packages has been deprecated for a while.
Create PortableApps packages using current file formats (AppInfo v3.0)
and tools. Generate the PA launcher using the PortableApps.com Launcher
generator. Copy files and directories from the top level instead of using
a manifest derived from the NSIS installer.
The manifest is a good idea, but we should create a central manifest
and use that to generate the NSIS and PortableApps packages instead of
trying to parse wireshark.nsi.
The new package still needs a bit of work but it installs and runs in
the current version of the PA Platform.
Remove the define for MAKENSIS_UNICODE. It doesn't look like we were
using it.
Start tearing down makefiles and scripts that we no longer use.

If you choose to install from the Intertubes, you probably want to
choose a nearby mirror site, rather than downloading from halfway across
the world; the list of download sites in setup*.exe's UI gives no
indication of where the mirror sites are, so you could end up picking
one to which you have a slow Internet path. Tell the user about the
list of mirror sites on the Cygwin Web site, as that list *does* give
geographical locations.
