Changing include to include/xercesc - Experimental tarball

[Murray Cumming <Mu...@BetaResearch.de>]

Here's a tarball of a Xerces-C++ with the discussed changes:
http://www.murrayc.com/temp/xercesc_sane_includes.tar.gz
Apparently I'm supposed to upload this to the 'experimental folder'.
Maybe somebody could do this or tell me where that folder is.

I expect that we still need to make minor include path changes to
project files such as the MS Visual C++ and Borland project files, but I
don't have the setup for that.

Here's a recap:

What does this give you?
- You may now do this:
  #include "xercesc/somefolder/someheader.h"
  instead of this:
  #include "somefolder/someheader.h"
- This should prevent clashes with headers of the same name, as well as
making your code clearer.

What do you need to do differently?
- Either
  a) Change your #include lines to contain 'xercesc/'. This is the best
choice in the long term.
  or b) Change the include path in your build files/projects:
       - if your include path is e.g.
/home/murrayc/xercescdownload/include,
         then change it to   
         /home/murrayc/xercescdownload/include/xerces.
       - if your include path is /usr/local/include then change it to  
         /usr/local/include/xercesc.
- Be careful if using /usr/include. With gcc, you probably shouldn't
specify this yourself because it is an implict include path, and
specifying it seems to override other implicit include paths.
- This will be supereasy in future if we provide a command-line script
which our build files can call to get the appropriate include and
linking arguments.

What changes were made to achieve this?
- The src directory was renamed to xercesc.
- Makefile.incl files were changed to copy into ../include/xercesc
instead od ../include
- Makefile.incl files were changed to use the appropriate include path.
- All #includes in the code were changed to use "xerces/" where
necessary.

How will we integrate these changes again later:
- Just rename xercesc back to src, create a diff, apply the diff to the
up-to-date code, and rename src to xercesc.
- The changes are simple and they are in parts of the files which are
unlikely to be touched by other work.

Done. Plus I added your email as a README:

http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/experimental/

I'll give it try. Thanks Murray!
