tp-magic-config man moved to (1)

Magic tool documentation now split into separate files, and referenced
(as a directory) from README, so that users can find docs to any additional
tools (ones not included by default with Tux Paint) that are installed.
Added new --datadir option, to separate path to brushes/stamps/etc. from that of saved files.
Improved docs on where savedir default is.
Made sure --help, man tuxpaint, and OPTIONS docs all covered all command-line options.
Noted SDL_Pango makes locale-specific fonts unnecessary.
Added "--plugindocprefix" option to tp-magic-config, for where docs should go.
Improved plugin API documentation.
Improved layout of man pages a little.

The 'Magic' tool is actually a set of special
tools. Select one of the "magic" effects from
the selector on the right, and then click and

the selector on the right. Then, depending on
the tool, either click and drag around the
picture, or simply click the picture once, to
apply the effect.
Fill
This floods the picture with a color.
It lets you quickly fill parts of the
picture, as if it were a coloring
book.
Grass
This paints grass on the image. The
higher up the canvas, the smaller the
grass is drawn, giving an illusion of
perspective. The grass can be tinted
various greenish hues by selecting
different colors in the color
palette.
Bricks (Large and Small)
These two tools intelligently paint
large and small brick patterns on the
canvas. The bricks can be tinted
various redish hues by selecting
different colors in the color
palette.
Rainbow
This is similar to the paint brush,
but as you move the mouse around, it
cycles through a spectrum of bright
colors.
Sparkles
This draws glowing sparkles on the
canvas, in the currently-selected
color.
Blur
This makes the picture fuzzy wherever
you drag the mouse.
Smudge
This pushes the colors around under
the mouse, like finger painting with
wet paint.
Lighten
This fades the colors wherever you
drag the mouse. (Do it to the same
spot many times, and it will
eventually become white.)
Darken
This dakrens the colors wherever you
drag the mouse. (Do it to the same
spot many times, and it will
eventually become black.)
Chalk
This makes parts of the picture
(where you move the mouse) look like
a chalk drawing.
Blocks
This makes the picture blocky looking
("pixelated") wherever you drag the
mouse.
Negative
This inverts the colors wherever you
drag the mouse. (e.g., white becomes
black, and vice versa.)
Tint
This changes the parts of the picture
to the selected color.
Drip
This makes the paint "drip" wherever
you move the mouse.
Cartoon
This makes the picture look like a
cartoon -- with thick outlines and
bright, solid colors -- wherever you
move the mouse.
Mirror
When you click the mouse in your
picture with the "Mirror" magic
effect selected, the entire image
will be reversed, turning it into a
mirror image.
Flip
Similar to "Mirror." Click and the
entire image will be turned
upside-down.
Each 'Magic' tool's instructions are contained
within the "magic-docs" folder.
