Explain better how to add data files to a sample
Also don't duplicate this information in both how-to-add-new-sample.md and how-to-add-files-to-build-system.md, just reference the former in the latter instead. Also fix some Markdown markup.

If the sample uses some data files, make sure to have `<wx-data>` node

in the sample's bakefile (see e.g. `samples/image/image.bkl` for an example).
|

Make sure to add `<wx-lib>` statements for all libraries from multilib build

that are required by the sample.

The Windows resource specification should use the central .rc file:

<win32-res>../sample.rc</win32-res>
|

|

Run `bakefile_gen` in `$(wx)/build/bakefiles` to regenerate the bakefiles.

Finally commit `$(wx)/build/bakefiles/make_dist.mk` and all the other modified files.

need to:

- install bakefile (see docs/contributing/how-to-add-files-to-build-system.md)

- run bakefile_gen in build/bakefiles which will regenerate all

makefiles which are not up to date

You may also use `bakefile_gen -b ../../samples/foo/foo.bkl` to
|

regenerate only the makefiles for this sample (path must be relative!)
|
||||
or even add a `-f<compiler>` to generate just the makefiles for the given

compiler (run `bakefile --help` to get the list of possible values).
