I did several changes during this week:

- Added user pages for the 4 dvbv5 tools;
- Cleaned up all Valgrind errors;
- Cleaned up a nasty double-free bug;
- Solved all the issues pointed for it at Coverity.
- Added the package version on all section 1 man pages. Those are now
  created during ./configure.

I also did some tests here with DVB-C and ISDB-T and everything seems to
be working fine.

So, at least from dvbv5 utils and libdvbv5, I think we're ready for
version 1.6.
