Configure: rebuild perl module nginx.so if headers are changed.
Note: the "-p" argument of cp(1) dropped intentionally, to force nginx.so
rebuild. It is considered too boring to properly list all dependencies
in Makefile.PL.
*) Configure: fixed style of include directories.
*) Configure: fixed GeoIP library detection.
*) GeoIP: IPv6 support. When using IPv6 databases, IPv4 addresses are
looked up as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Mostly based on a patch
by Gregor Kališnik (ticket #250).
*) GeoIP: removed pseudo-support of "proxy" and "netspeed" databases.
*) Access log: fixed redundant buffer reallocation. Previously a new
buffer was allocated for every "access_log" directive with the same
file path and "buffer=" parameters, while only one buffer per file
is used.
*) Reopening log files code moved to a separate function. The code
refactored in a way to call custom handler that can do appropriate
cleanup work (if any), like flushing buffers, finishing compress
streams, finalizing connections to log daemon, etc..
*) Access log: the "flush" parameter of the "access_log" directive.
*) Configure: added the NGX_ZLIB define. This was introduced for
conditional compilation of the code that requires the zlib library.
*) Access log: the "gzip" parameter of the "access_log" directive.
Note: this requires zlib version 1.2.0.4 or above to work.
*) The data pointer in ngx_open_file_t objects must be initialized.
Uninitialized pointer may result in arbitrary segfaults if access_log
is used without buffer and without variables in file path.
Patch by Tatsuhiko Kubo (ticket #268).
On Mac OS X system toolchain by default prefers include files
from /usr/local/include, but libraries from /usr/lib. This might result in
various problems, in particular the one outlined below.
If the PCRE library is installed into /usr/local/, this results in pcre.h
being used from /usr/local/include (with PCRE_CONFIG_JIT defined), but
libpcre from /usr/lib (as shipped with the OS, without pcre_free_study()
symbol). As a result build fails as we use pcre_free_study() function
if we try to compile with PCRE JIT support.
Obvious workaround to the root cause is to ask compiler to prefer
library from /usr/local/lib via ./configure --with-ld-opt="-L/usr/local/lib".
On the other hand, in any case it would be good to check if the function
we are going to use is available, hence the change.

*) Made sure to initialize the entire ngx_file_t structure.
Found by Coverity.
*) Correct plural form for "path" in the whole source base.
*) Removed conditional compilation from waitpid() error test.
There are reports that call to a signal handler for an exited process
despite waitpid() already called for the process may happen on Linux
as well.
*) Style, parentheses instead of braces in misc/GNUMakefile.
*) Configure: help updated to list upstream keepalive and least_conn.
Patch by Joshua Zhu.
*) Configure: additional test for ExtUtils::Embed perl module presence.
Now perl configure will correctly fail if ExtUtils::Embed perl module
is not present in the system (found on Amazon Linux AMI, as of
release 2012.03).
Configure: fixed make macros to use parentheses instead of braces.
Parentheses are more portable, in particular they are understood by
nmake while braces aren't.
*) Fixed build with Visual Studio 2005 Express.
It is available via winetricks which makes it still usable, and has
an old crtdefs.h which uses _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE instead of
_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to suppress warnings.

*) Configure: provide inflate() when building zlib on win32.
*) Helper target "win32" to run configure for win32 builds.
*) Updated zlib used for win32 builds.
Fixed compilation with -Wmissing-prototypes. Added a commented
out -Wmissing-prototypes to CFLAGS. It is commented out to not break
builds with 3rd party modules.
*) Replaced a number of "else if" with "elif".
*) Made sure to run configure in a "C" locale. Otherwise, we may fail
to properly detect a version of compiler.
*) Removed extraneous GCC warning flags.
Fixed compile-time conditionals used to detect if X-Forwarded-For support
is needed.
Note: compatibility shims were added during merge to avoid possible
breakage of 3rd party modules. At least cache purge module was broken
by the original commit, as it used to rely on NGX_HTTP_PROXY define.
HP-UX needs _HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API to be defined to be able to
use various POSIX versions of networking functions. Notably sendmsg()
resulted in "sendmsg() failed (9: Bad file number)" alerts without it.
See xopen_networking(7) for more details.
This fixes alignment problems observerd on ARMs, and likely also needed
for MIPSes. Unless we know alignment is not required just assume we
need 16, which appears to be safe default for all architectures.
See here for details:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2012-June/034139.html
*) Fixed spelling of "endianness", and called it "byte ordering" in the
user visible part.
*) Fixed return type of ngx_strerror_init().
*) Fixed a harmless error in spelling of "Connection: close" when computing
the response header length.
*) Style.
*) Added code to look up Google perftools in /opt/local/, for MacPorts.

This commit makes possible to build nginx on AIX 7.1.
NetBSD 5.0+ has SO_ACCEPTFILTER support merged from FreeBSD, and having
accept filter check in FreeBSD-specific ngx_freebsd_config.h prevents it
from being used on NetBSD. Therefore move the check into configure (and
do the same for Linux-specific TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, just to be in line).
At least Sun Studio 12 has problems with bit-fields exposed by nginx code
(caught by test suite). They seems to be fixed in Sun Studio 12.1. As a
workaround use "-fast -xalias_level=any" for older versions, it resolves
the problem.
Catch up with new Linux version numbering scheme as announced at [1] and
suppress unrecognized versions to actually use default 0.
