documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be "ref-manual". This will help with confustion over the manual's intended purpose.

17 Autotools (<code class="filename">autoconf</code>, <code class="filename">automake</code>,
18 and <code class="filename">libtool</code>) bring standardization.
19 This class defines a set of tasks (configure, compile etc.) that
20 work for all Autotooled packages.
21 It should usually be enough to define a few standard variables
22 and then simply <code class="filename">inherit autotools</code>.
23 This class can also work with software that emulates Autotools.
24 For more information, see the
25 "<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/usingpoky-extend-addpkg-autotools.html" target="_self">Autotooled Package</a>"
26 section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.

28<p>
29 It's useful to have some idea of how the tasks defined by this class work
30 and what they do behind the scenes.

34 configure script (using <code class="filename">autoreconf</code>) and then launches it
35 with a standard set of arguments used during cross-compilation.
36 You can pass additional parameters to <code class="filename">configure</code> through the
37 <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-EXTRA_OECONF" title="EXTRA_OECONF">EXTRA_OECONF</a></code> variable.
