[poky] Prelink documentation system appears to be obsolete.

From my attempts to get documentation building correctly for prelink,
it's becoming clear to me that the package's documentation system uses a
number of deprecated teTeX elements and needs updating at a "big
picture" level. From what I understand, TeXLive is the new hotness and
requires some migration.
In doc/prelink.tex, build errors lead me to suggest the following changes:
Change \usepackage{fancyheadings} to \usepackage{fancyhdr}:

Change [make|print]glossary to [make|print]nomenclature:

Don't define \ifpdf manually, \usepackage{ifpdf}:
http://old.nabble.com/Package-ifpdf-error:-name-clash---%5Cifpdf-is-already-defined-td18730554.html
After resolving these issues, I still end up with a failure building the
docs - but this time there's no clear error message to give me clues on
what needs fixing. My gut feeing is that the migration process from
teTeX to TeXLive needs to be done by someone more familiar with it than I.
Until that happens (or I suddenly become a TeX guru), I'm currently
advising that we keep the workaround in the prelink recipe which
prevents documentation from being built. Then I can move on to
addressing documentation builds in other packages.
