More stable PEL with several new features and documentation

Although I don't manage PEL through a rigorous development process, and I still consider PEL in its early development cycle, I create release tags at some points to identify its evolution.

• There were lots of updates since version 0.1.0, too many to describe here.
  PEL is still in what I consider an early development phase.
  Although most base features are stable, there's still several rough edges,
  lots of packages and programming languages I want to support are not
  properly supported.

  • I changed the instructions for installations on a new computer.
  • Added lots of cross-reference links between the PDF sheets.
  • Implemented a tempo skeleton generic file header block generation, and
    specialized ones for C, Erlang and reStructuredText files.
  • Support for Erlang and C is mostly complete, but there are several packages
    not supported yet.
  • Added support for sessions, projectile, hiding comments, hiding docstrings.
  • Added ability to automatically download and install packages from some
    non-Elpa compliant web sites (but path of Github) like EmacsAttic and
    EmacsMirror.
  • Support for generation of images using PlantUML and Graphviz Dot directly
    from within Emacs.
  • Support for several ways to deals with keys: Hydras, key-chord and key-seq,
    avy and ace-link.
  • Support for voice dictation under macOS and AppleScript.
  • Support for auto-completion using either auto-complete or company.
  • Support for input completion with Help, Ivy, Ivy/Counsel as well as Ido.
  • Support for bookmark management with bm.
  • Support for virtual-regexp
  • Key bindings to quickly access the customization buffer of several
    customization groups.
  • and more...

Minor updates & fixes

v0.1.1 - A pre-release minor updates and some fixes.

• new features:

  • modified keymap: draw is now <f11> D.
  • added support and documentation for diff/ediff (with keymaps <f11> d and <f11> e.
  • Added support for Magit and Monky and <f11> v keymap for (D)VCS.
  • Added pel-end-of-line which helps move before trailing spaces.
  • Documentation: documented autoave & backup
  • Documentation: described limitations in the dual-stage autoloading.
• fixes:
  • navigation: fixed autoloading

First Alpha release of PEL

This is the first alpha pre-release of PEL, the Pragmatic Environment Library for Emacs.

• PEL provides documentation about Emacs and provides a set of simple features with bindings mostly centered around using function keys so that it will not conflict with other Emacs key bindings.
• PEL integrates with several other external packages and uses customization to activate their use, along with their configuration contained in PEL's logic.
• PEL can be useful to new users to replace logic they would have to write in their own Emacs initialization file.
• It can also be used by more experienced users: each PEL feature is implemented in a separate mostly independent file.
