doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and comments

2015-01-31T16:39:04Z

To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. $I\.e\.$/. \1/g' \ -e 's/$[Ii]\.e\.$/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/$[Ii]\.e\.$$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule. (sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise. (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise.

doc: make README-prereq more generic

2010-03-19T09:14:46Z

* README-prereq: Adjust wording and reduce number of mentions of "coreutils", so it's easier to reuse in another package: grep.

maint: update info about getting the prerequisite automake

2010-01-12T10:32:08Z

* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo

maint: improve the info about $PATH in README-prereq

2009-12-30T02:09:43Z

* README-prereq: It wasn't obvious that the $PATH should be set before building any of the prerequisite packages, so move that information up.

maint: generalize the development prerequisites docs

2009-07-03T15:47:17Z

* README-hacking: Add a little more high level info and merge notes on specific developer prerequisites into README-prereq * README-prereq: Remove the Fedora 8 specific information and generalize the information to be applicable to any system.

* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11, with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62. Remove the reference to coreutils-7.0 so that this file implicitly refers to the latest or release version of coreutils. Fix and clarify the instructions for updating the $PATH.
