Cleaning up the IPython docs. I have removed old README files that were outdated and being maintained

in the top-level dir.  I have removed all mentions of the old lyx based docs.  Created subdirectories
for man and emacs stuff.  Having fun.

 Our Copyright Policy
 --------------------
 
 IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over
 their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
 contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the IPython
 source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
 institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire IPython
 Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
 changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate their
 copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the change to
 one of the IPython repositories.
 
 With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file to 
 indicate the copyright and license terms:
 
 #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 #  Copyright (C) 2008  The IPython Development Team

 #  Distributed under the terms of the BSD License.  The full license is in
