Unified handling of version extraction.

Removed oddly named and ridiculously outdated documentation text (scripts).

Created new directory 'scripts'.

Added unified version extraction script (scripts/get-version). Yes, it's
more shell script code but faster and more maintainable than the sed commands
and the swearwords/regexps repeated over and over again.

Makefile and packaging/macosx/make-package.sh modified accordingly.

I don't do windos neither macos but, AFAICS my tests show, it should be safe.
