instead of (ab)using the Timings spect for a
runtime switch, better use the existing
MockInjector facility and thus turn the
mock engine mode into a global switch

* rfcs are now all stored in the rfc folder (formerly hold the final rfcs)
* a new rfc_final folder is created
* the state folders (rfc_final|pending|parked|dropped) now contain
symlinks back to the rfc pool
'scons none' will not build anythinf but runs the configuration checks to
determine if the system and libraries are sane to build Lumiera, this will
be used in builddrone later.
First piece of introductory text for the Plugins/Interfaces
section. Only a somewhat long introduction of what plugins are.
TODO: discussed the 'what' of plugins, and possibly a little of
the 'why' of plugins, still require the 'how'.

I think it's smart to rather use ALSA directly instead of PortAudio.
ALSA is push AFAIK, and talking about it here at the hackspace, seems
like the better choice. It's a bit lower level, but anyway everything
speaks ALSA anyway. It's not like there's any reason to use PortAudio
at all. It's just an extra abstraction.
Coding for ALSA it'll also work with Pulseaudio and esd. Do people
really use other sound systems than Pulseaudio, esd or plain ALSA?
I can't think of it.
I really the idea about building a small tool first. I'll do that.
Also thought about making a small blikning cursor/text output, and
syncing a BEEP-sound to that, so that I can test around with throwing
in lots and lots of latency between "me" and the video, and try to
sync it anyway.
I should be able to read back from the sound card (or pulse audio
underneath, it will just work with alsa as the abstraction) how long
it takes for the bytes I'm pushing to reach the speakers, and do some
buffer tuning on that.
