Normally, we would not backport features into 1.4, but, I was convinced by the
justification supplied by the supplier of this patch. He pointed out that this
patch removes a requirement for running as root, thus reducing the potential
impacts of security issues.

rizzo brought up some issues related to the way that the metadata required
for menuselect and the rest of the build system is extracted from the source
files. Since I had a few hours to kill on an airplane today, I decided to
improve this situation... so now the system caches the extracted metadata
and uses it to build the menuselect 'tree' as much as it can. The result
of this is that when a single source file is changed, only the metadata for
that file needs to be extracted again, and the rest is used from the cache
files. I also reduced the number of forked processes required to do the
metadata extraction; it was actually possible to do most of what we needed
in the Makefiles themselves without using any shell scripts at all! On my
laptop, these changes resulted in an 80% decrease in the time required
for the 'menuselect.makeopts' automatic check to occur after editing a single
source file.
While doing this work I also cleaned up a few minor things in the Makefiles,
adding a check for 'awk' to the configure script and changed all remaining
places we use 'grep' or 'awk' to use the ones found by the configure script,
and changed the 'prep_tarball' script to build the menuselect metadata so
that tarballs of Asterisk will include it and won't require the user to
wait while it is extracted after unpacking.

* Convert most of the doc directory into a single LaTeX formatted document
so that we can generate a PDF, HTML, or other formats from this
information.
* Add a CLI command to dump the application documentation into LaTeX format
which will only be include if the configure script is run with
--enable-dev-mode.
* The PDF turned out to be close to 1 MB, so it is not included. However, you
can simply run "make asterisk.pdf" to generate it yourself. We may include
it in release tarballs or have automatically generated ones on the web site,
but that has yet to be decided.

curses, termcap, or tinfo are further passed along to the editline configure
script. This fixes some cross-compilation environments.

work just fine for our purposes of downloading the sounds packages. So, check
for both wget and fetch and the configure script and use what was found to
download them. If neither one was found, and sound packages are selected that
must be downloaded, the install process will print out an informative error
message indicating the situation.
Also, fix a couple places where "make" was hard coded into some output messages
by replacing them with the $(MAKE) variable.

when LOADABLE_MODULES is off, don't export symbols from the main binary
when LOADABLE_MODULES is off, and the compiler/linker support it, strip out code not used in the final binary

- restructured build tree and makefiles to eliminate recursion problems
- support for embedded modules
- support for static builds
- simpler cross-compilation support
- simpler module/loader interface (no exported symbols)

support the new location for zaptel.h and tonezone.h
use the dependency information output by menuselect to build Makefile rules for each module for header files and libraries
combine the common rules into a top-level Makefile.rules file
remove all (now) unnecessary stuff from subdir Makefiles
change translator API so that the newpvt() callback returns an int instead of a pointer (it no longer allocates memory)
alphabetize --with-<foo> options in configure script
enhance Net-SNMP support in configure script to provide a --with-netsnmp option
fix support for --with-pq so that if pg-config is not found when --with-pq is specified, an error will be generated
add 'optional package' usage to modules now that menuselect can output it
allow res_snmp to build by default, since the new loader changes coming soon will solve the function naming problem (and users can disable it via menuselect anyway)

ncurses is statically compiled with term info support, which is provided in
the statically compiled editline library that we are including.
