Vadim Zeitlin c9220befc7 Remove the old release making instructions and scripts.
Using git-based scripts seems to work well and the old scripts are not
maintained any more and having several ways of making releases is just
confusing, so leave only one set of scripts, the one actually used since
2.9.

autogen.mk

autogen.mk is a makefile provided to automatically update the GNU autotools
build system.  It will run Bakefile, aclocal, and autoconf as appropriate.

The .m4 files required for running aclocal are located in build/aclocal.
When upgrading software that wxWidgets depends on (for example, Bakefile,
cppunit, GTK, SDL, or others) it is advisable to upgrade the .m4 files
located in the build/aclocal directory.

It is particularly important that if you use a newer version of Bakefile
to generate the Makefile.in files that you use the newer bakefile*.m4.
Because build/autogen.mk is a Makefile it will automatically rerun
aclocal and autoconf as necessary whenever any m4 in build/aclocal is
newer than the generated aclocal.m4.

You can achieve this simply by copying the new bakefile*.m4 files from 
PREFIX/share/aclocal/ into the build/aclocal/ directory and
rerunning make -f build/autogen.mk.  Note that you should _not_ preserve
source file times (don't use cp -p) or else it's possible your .m4 files
will be older than the generated aclocal.m4).
Example:
cp /usr/share/aclocal/bakefile*.m4 build/aclocal/
make -f build/autogen.mk

Please don't forget to commit updated .m4 files as well as updated aclocal.m4,
configure, and Makefile.in files to wxWidgets.
