Comment (by cypherpunks):

 And here are the patches. They are divided as follows;
 * 0001 makes the rules work from out-of-tree builds and cleans some
 additional files generated by the various rules.
 * 0002 fixes the issues discussed in comment:4.
 * 0003 removes all relative paths from header files for consistency (some
 header files use relative paths, some not). Relative paths are not needed
 because all the relevant directories are included in the search path
 already.
 * 0004 removes the line mentioned in comment:1.
 * 0005 implements the suggestion in comment:5.
 * 0006 speaks for itself.

 There is one remaining issue with the check-docs rule because some paths
 are hard coded in `checkOptionDocs.pl`. I have a solution and will upload
 the patch asap.
