To help view that everything is OK and that there were no errors, an extra
blank line followed by one with `----' is added to the notice when we won't
be making a PDF. These two lines help the eye more clearly see everything
is fine (given that above it, there are MANY commands and outputs).

Managing this symbolic link as a prerequisite that may or maynot be defined
just made the code too dirty. It is almost always needed, so it is now a
super-high-level prerequisite (first dependency of the `all' target, even
before the final PDF). In this way, we can be sure it is always built and
that nothing else depends on it.
If the user doesn't want it, they can simply remove it from the top
`Makefile'.

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.

Let's start working on this pipeline independently with this first
commit. It is based on my previous experiences, but I had never made a
skeleton of a pipeline before, it was always within a working analysis.
But now that the pipeline has a separate repository for its self, we will
be able to work on it and use it as a base for future work and modify it to
make it even better. Hopefully in time (and with the help of others), it
will grow and become much more robust and useful.
