docs/cookbook/redoconf-simple: a simple redoconf C++ project.

Browse source 
This is a little simpler than the docs/cookbook/c project, which
doesn't actually have a doc yet because there was too much to explain.
I think I might make that a follow-on cookbook chapter, for people who
have read this simple one.

I think this doc is maybe a little too long; I intended it to be
"here's what you do to get started" but it turned into "here's what you
do to get started, and why it works, in excruciating detail." Not quite
sure how to fix.

(Also updated some other parts of the docs to refer to redoconf as a
real thing now instead of a "maybe someone should write this" thing.)

Contributions to [redoconf](/cookbook/redoconf-simple/) are very welcome.
For example, you might want to contribute detectors for new libraries or
compilers.
Some of the best things you can do for redo are:
- Convert your projects to using it. Without users, no project is
successful.
- Build new infrastructure around redo, especially things to make it easier
for people to get started. For example, an automake-like tool that filled
in default redo build rules for common program types would probably be
very popular.
