this change proposes to remove the option inputFiles from Pillar. Pillar
will now take only 1 Pillar input file that must include the rest. This
will simplify pillar.conf, this will simplify compile.sh, this will make
it easier for the author to understand the process, and this will
simplify Pillar's implementation. With this in place, we think we can
fix the problems with anchors and inter-chapter links.
