Remove --disable-maintainer-mode option from 'configure'. (Bug#11555)
It is confusingly named and rarely useful. See, for example, <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-12/msg00089.html>. * INSTALL.BZR: Don't mention --disable-maintainer-mode. * Makefile.in (MAINTAINER_MODE_FLAG): Remove; all uses removed. * configure.in: Remove --disable-maintainer-mode. (USE_MAINTAINER_MODE, MAINT): Remove. * admin/make-tarball.txt: Don't worry about maintainer mode. * etc/NEWS: Mention this.
