General item: add a way to specify the DIRECTORY of SOURCE FILES. manedit needs it.
Reported by Samuel GOUGEON (@sgougeon)
BUG DESCRIPTION:
----------------
Since XML help files are no longer delivered within the Scilab installation tree, sources files must be downloaded and set apart. Making manedit aware of this directory needs a global variable giving the path to sources. It should be set in Preferences.
This is the first step to restore the infrastructure for help pages maintaining and developpment by contributors.
