Factorise all repeated FILES sections in manpages in a new manpage,
urpmi.files(5). Fix several other things. Rewrite most of urpmi.addmedia(8) and document --distrib better.

+.TH urpmi.files 5 "07 Oct 2004" "Mandrakesoft" "Mandrakelinux"
+.IX urpmi.files
+.SH NAME
+urpmi.files \- files used by the urpmi tools
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The urpmi tools (urpmi, urpme, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.update, etc.) use
+several different files to store the state of the RPM repositories (or
+media). This manual page documents them.
+.SH FILES
+.de FN
+\fI\|\\$1\|\fP
+..
+.TP
+.FN /var/lib/urpmi/list.<media_name>
+Contains the list of all packages known by urpmi and their location. This file
+is used when a password is used to access a distant location (using a network
+protocol) or when various directories are used to store the packages. That's
+why it's not world-readable.
+.TP
+.FN /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.<media_name>.cz
+Contains information about all known packages; it's a summary of rpm headers.
+If an hdlist file is used for a medium, \fBurpmf\fP can operate completely
+without accessing this medium (this is almost always the case).
+.TP
+.FN /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.<media_name>.cz
+Contains synthesis information about all known packages built from hdlist files
+that can be used by minimal closure algorithm. If these files are not present,
+hdlist files will be used instead to resolve dependencies (but this is much
+slower).
+.TP
+.FN /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
+Contains media descriptions. See \fIurpmi.cfg\fP(5).
+.TP
+.FN /etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg
+Contains proxy descriptions for http and ftp media. See \fIproxy.cfg\fP(5).
+.TP
+.FN /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg
+Contains parallel alias description. Format is
+\fB<alias>:<interface[(media)]>:<interface_parameter>\fP where \fB<alias>\fP is
+a symbolic name, \fB<interface>\fP can be \fBka-run\fP or \fBssh\fP,
+\fB<media>\fP is a media list (as \fB--media\fP parameter),
+\fB<interface_parameter>\fP is a specific interface parameter list like "-c ssh
+-m node1 -m node2" for \fBka-run\fP extension or "node1:node2" for \fBssh\fP
+extension.
+.TP
+.FN /etc/urpmi/skip.list
+The list of packages that should not be automatically updated when using
+--auto-select. It contains one package expression per line; either a package
+name, or a regular expression (if enclosed in slashes \fB/\fP) to match the
+name of packages against.
+.TP
+.FN /etc/urpmi/inst.list
+The list of packages that should be installed instead of updated. It has
+the same format as the skip.list.
+.TP
+.FN /var/log/urpmi.log
+The urpmi log file.
