Rob Crittenden 5ad2af3429 Redo the way versioning works in freeIPA.
The file VERSION is now the sole-source of versioning.

The generated .spec files will been removed in the maintainer-clean targets
and have been removed from the repository.

By default a GIT build is done. To do a non-GIT build do:

 $ make TARGET IPA_VERSION_IS_GIT_SNAPSHOT=no

When updating the version you can run this to regenerate the version:

 $ make version-update

The version can be determined in Python by using ipaserver.version.VERSION

IPA uses Kerberos with an LDAP storage backend and some custom plugins
to help manage users and passwords.

A UI interface is provided to make user administration and self-service
possible. A set of command-line utilities that should provide the same
capabilities is in ipa-admintools.

The Gecko engine provides an interface for managing a user's configuration
in Javascript. Naturally this is highly protected and the user gets an
appropriately dire warning when you try to do this. It also requires 
signed javascript.

During installation a signing certificate is created that creates
and signs /usr/share/ipa/html/configure.jar which contains the javascript
to update the browser configuration. User's are directed to go to
/errors/preferencs.html to load this javascript and apply the changes.
