2018-02-15	Choice to build final PDF removed from LOCAL settings	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-19/+0
	The previous change where we had set the building of the PDF as a local (and thus not version controlled) setting was not good, because different commits might be made without the high-level preparations for the final PDF (especially during the initial/testing phases of a research). Therefore, if the runner of the pipeline is ignorant to this, they may hit some errors in LaTeX which can be frustrating. To have a clean reproduction, it is thus necessary to have the choice of pdf-building under version control along with the rest of the pipeline.
2018-02-14	Sanity checks added, local settings now in LOCAL.mk.in	Mohammad Akhlaghi	-0/+69
	The choice of whether or not to make a PDF is now also a local system issue, not a general pipeline issue. So it has been put in the new `LOCAL.mk.in' file which replaces the old `DIRECTORIES.mk.in'. All local settings (things that when changed should not be version-controlled) should be defined in this file. A sanity check was added to find if `./configure' has been run before `make' or not (using the `LOCAL.mk' file which is an output of the configuration step). If `LOCAL.mk' doesn't exist, an error will be printed informing the user that `./configure' needs to be run first. The configure script also provides more clear and hopefully better information on its purpose and what must be done. Since `make clean', it is executed even when `./configure' hasn't been run, it will only delete the build directory and its contents when local configuration has been done. A `distclean' target was also added which will first "clean" the pipeline, then delete the `LOCAL.mk.in' file. To allow rules like `make' to be run even if `BDIR' isn't defined (`./configure' hasn't been run yet), a fake `BDIR' is defined in such cases.
