Split libsoup out of soup. ChangeLog.old contains the original soup
* Split libsoup out of soup. ChangeLog.old contains the original
soup ChangeLog.
* Makefile.am, etc: Fix things up to work with the new directory
layout. Disable docs until we fix them.
* autogen.sh: Use gnome-autogen.sh
* configure.in: Require autoconf 2.53. Remove stuff that was only
needed for httpd or wsdl code. Remove glib1 support. Bump version
to 2.0.
* libsoup/Makefile.am: Rename library to libsoup-2.0, put includes
in ${includedir}/soup-2.0
* libsoup/*: Merge soup-0-7 back onto the trunk. Remove
SOAP-specific stuff, Windows support, and other things that
weren't being maintained.
* soup-config.in, soupConf.sh: Kill these. We only support
pkg-config now.
