Changed.

Updated.

I decided to keep this layout:

- a dedicated manual for each ff* tool

- a dedicated manual for each library, just listing a brief
  description (and possibly soon a link to Doxygen)

- a dedicated manual for the library subcomponents (codecs, filters,
  formats, etc.), including the single objects provided by a library
  like in the case of the libswresample/libswscale libraries, which
  still resides in the "user" documentation space.

This is meant to keep the documentation as modular as possible, and to
keep tool and library documentation separated as much as possible.

Keeping a *huge* complete tool page should be still possible, but that
would imply some hacks to the build system.
