Subject: Better description for input data directory, pointing to INPUTS.conf

Until now, the description of the input-data directory at configure time
included a description of the input data (created by reading the values of
'INPUTS.conf'). Maintaining this is easy for a single dataset, but it
becomes hard for a general project which may need many input datasets.

To avoid extra complexity (for maintaining this list), the description now
points a user of the project to the 'INPUTS.conf' file and asks them to
look inside of it for seeing the necessary data. This infact helps with the
users becoming familiar with the internal structure of Maneage and will
allow the authors to focus on not having to worry about updating the
low-level 'configure.sh' script.
