./configure --with-nettle to use Nettle crypto lib for algorithms,
instead of OpenSSL or wolfSSL. Note: Nettle does not provide TLS.

Although removal of AM_PROG_CC_C_O in f107bac8 requires automake 1.14
to provide the same functionality in AC_PROG_CC, any widely used,
modern compiler supports cc -c -o. Reducing the minimum required
automake version avoids the current need for Centos 7 maintainers
to patch configure.ac in order to build binary packages.
allow sendfile() in cross-compile if sys/sendfile.h header detected
and sendfile() symbol detected (e.g. in libc)
If sendfile() is present but always returns ENOSYS, lighttpd will
be slightly less efficient, but will fall back to writev() or write()
User should explicitly set server.network-backend = "writev" in
lighttpd.conf on systems with broken sendfile()

- AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS requires autoconf 2.60; using it replaces
AC_AIX, AC_ISC_POSIX, AC_MINIX and -D__EXTENSIONS__
- require at least automake 1.12 to remove hack for serial-tests
- automake 1.12 is from 2012, automake 1.14 from 2013
- automake 1.14 allows us to drop AM_PROG_CC_C_O
- we don't use $LN_S, drop AC_PROG_LN_S
- silent-rules replaces AM_SILENT_RULES
*experimental*
decodes websockets and passes body back and forth from backend
(body could be known protocol such as JSON, or any custom protocol)
originally based off https://github.com/nori0428/mod_websocket
autotools now use AC_PROG_CC_STDC macro instead of -std=gnu99.
The default in current modern gcc compilers is -std=gnu11
(Note: src/CMakeLists.txt and SConstruct still specify -std=gnu99)
