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.

Convert textify.sh to PowerShell. Use PowerShell's built-in line ending
conversion so that we don't depend on unix2dos.
Only copy the help toc and text files to the staging directory.
Add PowerShell to the Developer's Guide. Fixup some other content.
(asn1/Makefile.inc.nmake contains a call to u2d. Hopefully that's not
a problem.)

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.

Add developer-guide-docinfo.xml, which lets us carry over DocBook front
matter. Remove the meta_info chapter. Most of its contents are now in
developer-guide-docinfo.xml. Add a DocBook revision history based on
hints from the Git/SVN/CVS revision history.
Comment out or note makefile content that's no longer necessary for
converting the Developer's Guide but will be useful for converting the
User's Guide. Fix building the release notes with CMake. Other minor
changes. Tested with Autotools, nmake, and CMake.

chapter (WSDG_chapter_sources) has been converted.
Conversion was done using the script in
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/9/ along with manual cleanup.
Changes are mostly limited formatting.
It's helpful to have a copy of the pre-conversion guide for comparison.
I've placed a chunked copy online at
http://www.wireshark.org/~gerald/wsdg_html_2014_01/ .
Tested under Autotools. Nmake and CMake will likely break. I'll take a
look shortly. If only we had documention adding a feature branch to
Gerrit and using it to test different platforms...
