[Gimp-docs] keep the AUTHORS in one place

Hi folks,

I began yesterday to use a common way of managing our authors and
contributors. Like the gimp developers already have, we should replace
step by step the two places where we keep our authors list: 

    1. the text only AUTHORS version in the root of the module
    2. the DocBook version in src/preface/authors.xml

I copied and customized the authors.xml file from GIMP; added additional
stylesheets for creating the text version AUTHORS and a DocBook
compliant version.

What needs to be done?

    - The output needs to be a bit more verbose: what contributed what
      (more technical or more text)
    - The creation of the DocBook compliant version can be automated,
      but probably don't has to be. 

Benefits?
We have keep our contributors in one list and don't have to care about
various other lists. Additionally, we can merge the active contributors
easily with the GIMP authors.xml. 

Any comments, suggestions?

Greetings,
