revised describe function now on cvs branch



Hi Robert!

I've fixed all Makefile-related problems for new describe.
Now make, make install, make clean, make uninstall works
well with describe-index.lisp for English, Portuguese and
Spanish (Latin1 and UTF8 versions).

New describe is positively great - blazing speed and nice
extra flexibility.

But at present I see two problems:

1. Spanish describe-index.lisp contains """ entry
which naturally causes lisp error.  I see that you have
fixed similar problem for Portuguese by editing texinfo
sources.  But I wonder how to fix this problem once and
forever by modifying build_index? Otherwise problem will
recur in the future again and again.

2. Second problem is more serious.  New describe doesn't work
properly in UTF8 locales.  It shows list of options as expected
but when I choose some item it shows something completely
unrelated.  This is probably due to the fact that build_index
is executed not in the UTF-8 locale.  At present I don't
know how to fix the issue.

Shall I commit my changes to describe-revision-branch?
