Until now, I was writing the paper without the template. But we will soon
be adding a tutorial to the template, and I thought it will be good to have
an example demonstration here too. So I just brought the hole project into
the template structure, allowing us to add the template analysis later when
its ready, and also allowing us to easily reproduce this paper ofcourse
(without having to worry about the host's TeXLive installation.

Now that its 2020, its necessary to include this year in the copyright
statements.

Until now, we weren't explicitly asking for BibLaTeX to build the citations
with only initial of the author's given names. Therefore when one BibTeX
entry had a full given name and another had only initials, this would also
be reflected in the paper's bibliography.
With this commit, the `giveninits=true' option is given to BibLaTeX to
always only print the initial character of an author's given name.

In some cases, users of the template may not need the other template
headers, they may only want `preamble-biblatex.tex'. But `xcolor' needs to
be loaded before being able to load the various colors we use in the
references. So to be self-consistent, it is loaded.
Also, the default style was also printing the month of the publication
which is not common. So a line was added to clear the `month' field before
building the Bibliography.

In the warnings output by LaTeX during the building of a project, I noticed
that `csquotes' is recommended for some features of BibLaTeX (a warning was
printed) so it is added with this commit.

Until now, the software building and analysis steps of the pipeline were
intertwined. However, these steps (of how to build a software, and how to
use it) are logically completely independent.
Therefore with this commit, the pipeline now has a new architecture
(particularly in the `reproduce' directory) to emphasize this distinction:
The `reproduce' directory now has the two `software' and `analysis'
subdirectories and the respective parts of the previous architecture have
been broken up between these two based on their function. There is also no
more `src' directory. The `config' directory for software and analysis is
now mixed with the language-specific directories.
Also, some of the software versions were also updated after some checks
with their webpages.
This new architecture will allow much more focused work on each part of the
pipeline (to install the software and to run them for an analysis).

Until now, the files where the people were meant to change didn't have a
proper copyright notice (for example `Copyright (C) YOUR NAME.'). This was
wrong because the license does not convey copyright ownership. So the name
of the file's original author must always be included and when people
modify it (and add their own copyright-able modifications).
With this commit, the file's original author (and email) are added to the
copyright notice and when more than one person modified a file, both names
have their individual copyright notice.
Based on this, the description for adding a copyright notice in
`README-hacking.md' has also been modified.

Until now, there was a single `tex/src/references.tex' file that housed the
BibTex entries for everything (software and non-software).
Since we have started to include the BibTeX entry for more software, it
will be hard to manage the large (sometime unused) BibTeX entries of the
software in the middle of the non-software related citations in the text of
the paper.
Therefore, with this commit, a `tex/dependencies' directory has been made
which has a separate BibTeX entry file for each software that needs
one. After the software is built, this file is copied to the new
`.local/version-info/cite' directory. At the end, the configure script will
concatenate all the files in this directory into one file which will later
be used with `tex/src/references.tex' by BibLaTeX.
This greatly simplifies managing of citations. Allowing us to focus on the
software-building and paper-writing citations separately/cleanly (and thus
be more efficient in both).

In order to be more clear, a copyright statement was added to all the LaTeX
and README files.

In order to collaborate effectively in the project, even project members
that don't necessarily want (or have the capacity) to do the whole analysis
must be able to contribute to the project. Until now, the users of the
distributed tarball could only modify the text and not the figures (built
with PGFPlots) of the paper.
With this commit, the management of TeX source files in the pipeline was
slightly modified to allow this as cleanly as I could think of now! In
short, the hand-written TeX files are now kept in `tex/src' and for the
pipeline's generated TeX files (in particular the old `tex/pipeline.tex'),
we now have a `tex/pipeline' symbolic-link/directory that points to the
`tex' directory under the build directory.
When packaging the project, `tex/pipeline' will be a full directory with a
copy of all the necessary files. Therefore as far as LaTeX is concerned,
having a build-directory is no longer relevant. Many other small changes
were made to do this job cleanly which will just make this commit message
too long!
Also, the old `tarball' and `zip' targets are now `dist' and `dist-zip' (as
in the standard GNU Build system).
