On some systems, it's possible that reaper of orphaned processes is
set to something other than "init" process. On such systems, the
changing binary procedure did not work.
The fix is to check if PPID has changed, instead of assuming it's
always 1 for orphaned processes.
On Windows, a worker process does not call ngx_slab_init() from
ngx_init_zone_pool(), so ngx_slab_max_size, ngx_slab_exact_size,
and ngx_slab_exact_shift were left uninitialized.
The directive configures a timeout to be used when gracefully shutting down
worker processes. When the timer expires, nginx will try to close all
the connections currently open to facilitate shutdown.
On exit environment allocated from a pool is no longer available, leading
to a segmentation fault if, for example, a library tries to use it from
an atexit() handler.
Fix is to allocate environment via ngx_alloc() instead, and explicitly
free it using a pool cleanup handler if it's no longer used (e.g., on
configuration reload).
SSLeay_version() and SSLeay() are no longer available if OPENSSL_API_COMPAT
is set to 0x10100000L. Switched to using OpenSSL_version() instead.
Additionally, we now compare version strings instead of version numbers,
and this correctly works for LibreSSL as well.
The auto/module script is extended to understand ngx_module_link=DYNAMIC.
When set, it links the module as a shared object rather than statically
into nginx binary. The module can later be loaded using the "load_module"
directive.
New auto/module parameter ngx_module_order allows to define module loading
order in complex cases. By default the order is set based on ngx_module_type.
3rd party modules can be compiled dynamically using the --add-dynamic-module
configure option, which will preset ngx_module_link to "DYNAMIC" before
calling the module config script.
Win32 support is rudimentary, and only works when using MinGW gcc (which
is able to handle exports/imports automatically).

If enabled, workers are bound to available CPUs, each worker to once CPU
in order. If there are more workers than available CPUs, remaining are
bound in a loop, starting again from the first available CPU.
The optional mask parameter defines which CPUs are available for automatic
binding.

The code for displaying version info and configuration info seemed to be
cluttering up the main function. I was finding it hard to read main. This
extracts out all of the logic for displaying version and configuration info
into its own function, thus making main easier to read.
If the -T option is passed, additionally to configuration test, configuration
files are output to stdout.
In the debug mode, configuration files are kept in memory and can be accessed
using a debugger.
While ngx_get_full_name() might have a bit more descriptive arguments,
the ngx_conf_full_name() is generally easier to use when parsing
configuration and limits exposure of cycle->prefix / cycle->conf_prefix
details.
If "stderr" was specified in one of the "error_log" directives,
stderr is not redirected to the first error_log on startup,
configuration reload, and reopening log files.
On Win32 platforms 0 is used to indicate errors in file operations, so
comparing against -1 is not portable.
This was not much of an issue in patched code, since only ngx_fd_info() test
is actually reachable on Win32 and in worst case it might result in bogus
error log entry.
