Title: FHS, distutils, debian/*, manpage, directory layout, SVG icon -- now all modular!

This has been `git rebase -i` hell (and maybe it's not over yet...)

I'm currently quite busy and won't have time to work any more on this until some time in July. I believe I managed to split the big commits from the original distutils branch into quite modular ones; unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to test if everything still works under both Linux and Windows for every single commit.
Originally, I wanted to do that before filing a pull request, but given the number of commits, I figured it might be best to do so now so that they can be reviewed already.

The first couple of commits are rather trivial bug fixes, followed by some bigger ones. The order of commits that introduce new stuff is basically such that there wasn't too much superfluous work involved (e.g. not writing any extra manpage installation targets in the Makefile before migrating installation to distutils) while retaining all functionality (at least theoretically) at any given point (which is why the icons are moved to their new location only after the resources/ -> share/ renaming and moving of data files.)

I'd welcome any comments; please bear with me as I'll probably be able to reply only in about two weeks. Of course, I'd be even more happy if at least some of this stuff turned out good enough already and made its way into `upstream/master` :-)
