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)
add doc/initscripts.txt with description of lighttpd signal handling
and links to the initscripts of various operating system distros
remove doc/initscripts/*
x-ref:
"init scripts outdated, should be removed"

Lack of pipe2() on relic Unix as well as missing on Mac OSX is likely
one reason why threaded web servers such as nginx choose not to support
CGI except via an external service to the process. Without pipe2(),
race conditions exist and it is not safe for a threaded server to use
pipe() and fork() when the server also does not want to potentially leak
open file descriptors to various unrelated CGI scripts.
- "autoreconf --force --install" should be enough to get autobuild
running, manual cp / running ./autogen.sh should not be required
- reorganize files laters, e.g. scripts/{cmake,m4}
- include ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4 manually in configure.ac as it is not
automatically loaded if it is not in m4/
[mod_deflate] skip deflate if 1 min loadavg too high
deflate.max-loadavg = "3.50" # express value as string of float num
[mod_compress] skip compression if 1 min loadavg too high
compress.max-loadavg = "3.50" # express value as string of float num
Feature available on BSD-like systems which have getloadavg() in libc
Note: load average calculations are different on different operating
systems and different types of system loads, so there is no value that
can be recommended for one-size-fits-all.

remove mod_authn_gssapi explicit dependency on -lresolv
This fixes build on FreeBSD when ./configure --with-krb5
(On systems that need libresolv, libkrb5 depends on libresolv)
Also remove obsolete hstrerror() references from build
prefer RAND_pseudo_bytes() (openssl), arc4random() or jrand48(),
if available, over rand()
These are not necessarily cryptographically secure, but should be better
than rand()
module status: experimental; more testing and review needed
Kerberos library calls have been preserved from original patch set
and should be reviewed.
module has been quickly tested with Basic auth (Use over TLS!)
SPNEGO -has not- been tested. Again, kerberos library calls have
been preserved from original patch set. YMMV. (Use over TLS!)

"Kerberos/GSSAPI Delegation Support"
https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1899
lots of fixes and improvements
limitations: see comments at top of mod_deflate.c
missing functionality: encode streaming response
(module currently requires response be collected before being sent)
potential functionality: addition of compressed file cache would
allow mod_deflate to fully supplant mod_compress in lighttpd 1.4.x
