New Documentation


Our documentation continues to improve. Remote modules are now grouped in the Doxygen Module page [1]. A number of new examples were added to the Sphinx repository and the Wiki, which can now also be build as Remote modules. The Software Guide was split into two books and configure and build instructions were revised.
