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 I have removed old README files that were outdated and being maintained in the top-level dir.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.

"""Mix of ConfigObj and Struct-like access.
Provides:
- Coupling a Struct object to a ConfigObj one, so that changes to the Traited
instance propagate back into the ConfigObj.
- A declarative interface for describing configurations that automatically maps
to valid ConfigObj representations.
- From these descriptions, valid .conf files can be auto-generated, with class
docstrings and traits information used for initial auto-documentation.
- Hierarchical inclusion of files, so that a base config can be overridden only
in specific spots.
Notes:
The file creation policy is:
1. Creating a SConfigManager(FooConfig,'missingfile.conf') will work
fine, and 'missingfile.conf' will be created empty.
2. Creating SConfigManager(FooConfig,'OKfile.conf') where OKfile.conf has
include = 'missingfile.conf'
conks out with IOError.
My rationale is that creating top-level empty files is a common and
reasonable need, but that having invalid include statements should
raise an error right away, so people know immediately that their files
have gone stale.
TODO:
- Turn the currently interactive tests into proper doc/unit tests. Complete
docstrings.
- Write the real ipython1 config system using this. That one is more
complicated than either the MPL one or the fake 'ipythontest' that I wrote
here, and it requires solving the issue of declaring references to other
objects inside the config files.
- [Low priority] Write a custom TraitsUI view so that hierarchical
configurations provide nicer interactive editing. The automatic system is
remarkably good, but for very complex configurations having a nicely
organized view would be nice.
