[Orgmode] New structure GIT repository

Hi,

I have just pushed a major change into the GIT repository.
I would appreciate very much if as many people as possible quickly
switch to the new setup, so that we can find any remaining hick-ups.

Here is what has changed:

  - Org-mode is now a collection of 19 Lisp files.
  - These Lisp files are located in a new directory "lisp".
  - The documentation files have been moved to the new "doc"
    subdirectory.

If you are running Org-mode from the GIT repository, here are the
mandatory changes you need to make after the next pull:

  - Run make to compile all the lisp files.  If you do not want to
    work with compiled files, run at the very least
    "make autoloads" to create the file org-install.el with the
    autoload definitions.

  - Change the setup for load-path in .emacs.  Previously you
    were told to point it to the GIT repository main directory,
    now you need to point it to the "lisp" subdirectory.

  - Use

      (require 'org-install)

    in .emacs, which is the correct way to install the Org package.
When this file has been loaded, you are in the same state as an Emacs that comes with Org-mode pre-installed. org.el and all the other files
    will now be loaded on demand, when they are actually needed.

    Using (require 'org) instead may also work, but I am not entirely
sure. I have tried to make it work because, for example, the Org- mode
    tutorial still lists this as the method to load the package.


ONLY IF YOU ARE USING THE INFO DOCUMENTATION:

The info file "org" will now be locate in the "doc" subdirectory,
so you may need to change your info setup to make sure it finds
the file.  Also the "dir" file which contains the info directory entry
for Org is now in that directory.


- Carsten
