GUI and Back release

[Fred Kiefer]

I generated the files that are needed for a GUI and back release. I don’t have 
the means to generate the release itself. It would be creat if somebody 
(Richard or Ivan) could do that right after the base release.
I ran into an issue with generating the NEWS and ANNOUNCE files for GUI (on 
back this worked as expected). Perhaps somebody could look into that? I had to 
run the makeinfo command manually for these files. It also looks like makeinfo 
did change the bullet character and a few more. But as the new format looks 
nicer I kept it.

Cheers,
Fred
