Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames
...
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so

that it works for all targets.
The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure). We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.
