Update readme documentation

- Provide more information regarding parsers, including X·M·L parsers.

- Update advice on allowed characters, to exclude all Ascii characters
  not allowed in u·r·i’s as well as those known to cause potential
  commandline problems.

- Improve the documentation regarding BUILDDIR and DESTDIR
