- moved files in proper directories and adapted paths where needed
- deleted doc/oldbugs.txt (asked confirmation to jesterking a week ago in irc)
- still working on doxygen files, for now I'll leave them in doc/
- NOTE: while checking if other files were referring to these files, I noted that
  "GPL-license.txt" is also used in the files below:
    - release/windows/installer/00.sconsblender.nsi
    - release/windows/specific.sh
  but these files should't be affected by this commit, but please check :)

+.SH NAME
+blender \- a 3D modelling and rendering package
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B blender [args ...] [file] [args ...]
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.B blender
+is a 3D modelling and rendering package. It is the in-house software of a high quality animation studio, Blender has proven to be an extremely fast and versatile design instrument. The software has a personal touch, offering a unique approach to the world of Three Dimensions.
+
+Use Blender to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easy build and manage complex environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast. All basic animation principles (curves & keys) are well implemented.

+.SS "Argument Parsing:"
+
+    arguments must be separated by white space. eg
+        "blender \-ba test.blend"
+    ...will ignore the 'a'
+        "blender \-b test.blend \-f8"
+    ...will ignore 8 because there is no space between the \-f and the frame value
+.br
+.SS "Argument Order:"
+
+Arguments are executed in the order they are given. eg
+        "blender \-\-background test.blend \-\-render\-frame 1 \-\-render\-output /tmp"
+    ...will not render to /tmp because '\-\-render\-frame 1' renders before the output path is set
+        "blender \-\-background \-\-render\-output /tmp test.blend \-\-render\-frame 1"
+    ...will not render to /tmp because loading the blend file overwrites the render output that was set
+        "blender \-\-background test.blend \-\-render\-output /tmp \-\-render\-frame 1" works as expected.
+.br
+.br
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+  \fIBLENDER_USER_CONFIG\fR Directory for user configuration files.
+  \fIBLENDER_SYSTEM_CONFIG\fR Directory for system wide configuration files.
+  \fIBLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS\fR Directory for user scripts.
