README* refactoring This is an attempt to bring the README files in line with the current status of the OpenOCD development. - remove some obsolete information and duplicated instructions - reword some statements - restructure in a way more appealing to a regular user - add a supported hardware list to allow a potential user to determine if his/her usecase is covered by a freetext keyword search through the document - Add OSX notes (courtesy GrizzlyAdams and inca) Since most ftdi-based adapters are now covered by the ftdi driver, I think it's ok to remove some of the libftdi/ftd2xx instructions, the few users who still need them should refer to upstream docs instead. I'm not sure if README.Windows should come with the DOS line endings, but i'd expect many windows users to use their silly notepad to view it, and notepad ignores LF apparently. (Decided to use LF anyway.) I understand discussing and reviewing such a massive README change is a somewhat demanding task but I feel it's a necessity to move forward maintaining proper documentation.

Building OpenOCD for Windows
----------------------------
You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW/MSYS or
Cygwin. Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW on a *nix
host. See README for the generic instructions.
libusb: require pkg-config support An alternative approach to show how much cleaner the pure pkg-config way is. This changes the discovery procedures for libusb-1.0 and libusb-0.1, making them depend on pkg-config being properly installed and configured, including the necessary build host configuration for the cross-builds (see http://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster/pkgconfig/cross-compiling.html) It should make it possible to compile OpenOCD without changes and extra effort on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD users would need to supply a .pc file for their libusb implementation or add LIBUSB1_LIBS and LIBUSB1_CFLAGS to the configure environment.

Native MinGW/MSYS compilation
-----------------------------
As MSYS doesn't come with pkg-config pre-installed, you need to add it
manually. The easiest way to do that is to download pkg-config-lite
from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/
README.Windows: pkgconfig-lite should go into MinGW, not MSYS As autoconf is part of MinGW, it uses its root to find m4 files, pkg-config should be installed accordingly.

USB adapters
------------
You usually need to have WinUSB.sys (or libusbK.sys) driver installed
for a USB-based adapter. Some vendor software (e.g. for ST-LINKv2)
does it on its own. For the other cases the easiest way to assign
WinUSB to a device is to use the Zadig installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/
For the old drivers that use libusb-0.1 API you might need to link
against libusb-win32 headers and install the corresponding driver with
Zadig.
