Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow. *** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED - clang api docs fail build from objdir - clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/ - clang/llvm main docs collide in install - clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files; namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination for cross references and some html cross references assume website root paths *** IMPROVEMENTS - bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3 - splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees - provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs - support buid vs. install vs. website intentions - support objdir builds - document targets with 'make help' - correct clean and uninstall operations - use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary - added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf'; if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose error will be printed and make will error-stop. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@103213 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+=head1 NAME
+
+llvm-link - LLVM linker
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<llvm-link> [I<options>] I<filename ...>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<llvm-link> takes several LLVM bitcode files and links them together into a
+single LLVM bitcode file. It writes the output file to standard output, unless
+the B<-o> option is used to specify a filename.
+
+B<llvm-link> attempts to load the input files from the current directory. If
+that fails, it looks for each file in each of the directories specified by the
+B<-L> options on the command line. The library search paths are global; each
+one is searched for every input file if necessary. The directories are searched
+in the order they were specified on the command line.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<-L> F<directory>
+
+Add the specified F<directory> to the library search path. When looking for
+libraries, B<llvm-link> will look in path name for libraries. This option can be
+specified multiple times; B<llvm-link> will search inside these directories in
+the order in which they were specified on the command line.
+
+=item B<-f>
+
+Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, B<llvm-link> will refuse to
+write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option,
+B<llvm-link> will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device.
+
+=item B<-o> F<filename>
+
+Specify the output file name. If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-link> will
+write its output to standard output.
+
+=item B<-S>
+
+Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode).
+
+=item B<-d>
+
+If specified, B<llvm-link> prints a human-readable version of the output
+bitcode file to standard error.
+
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print a summary of command line options.
+
+=item B<-v>
+
+Verbose mode. Print information about what B<llvm-link> is doing. This
+typically includes a message for each bitcode file linked in and for each
+library found.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXIT STATUS
+
+If B<llvm-link> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
+occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
