using %CONFIG_FLAGS directly.

Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.

Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.
* README.Amiga, README.DOS.template, README.W32.template: Updated.
* INSTALL: Point readers at the README.git file.
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete files. Create Basic.mk file.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*.mk: Create basic GNU make-based makefiles.
* build_w32.bat: Copy Basic.mk to Makefile
* configure.ac: We no longer need AM_PROG_AR.
* dosbuild.bat: Rename to builddos.bat. Incorporate configure.bat.
* Makefile.DOS.template: Remove.
* NMakefile.template, w32/subproc/NMakefile: Remove.
* SMakefile.template, glob/SMakefile, glob/SCOPTIONS, make.lnk: Remove.
* configure.bat, glob/configure.bat: Remove.
* w32/Makefile.am: Remove.
* make_msvc_net2003.sln, make_msvc_net2003.vcproj: Remove.
* main.c (main): Pre-define .LOADED as a default-level variable.
* load.c (load_file): Set the value rather than append it. Avoid
adding an extra initial whitespace.
* tests/scripts/features/load: Run with --warn-undefined-variables.
* tests/config-flags.pm.in: A new file containing variable assignments
for the test suite; these variables are set by configure to contain
the values detected there for compilers, flags, etc.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Require the config-flags.pm file
* tests/scripts/features/load, tests/scripts/features/loadapi: Use the
configure-provided values when building the shared test library.
* configure.ac: Replace tests/config-flags.pm.in
* Makefile.am: Make sure tests/config-flags.pm is up to date
load.c (load_object, load_file): Accept an additional argument
DLP and return in it a pointer that can be used to unload the
dynamic object.
read.c (eval): Call load_file with an additional argument, and
record the pointer returned there in the 'struct file' object of
dynamic objects in that object's 'struct file'.
commands.c (execute_file_commands): Unload dynamic objects
before remaking them, to avoid failure to remake if the OS doesn't
allow overwriting objects that are in use.
filedef.h (struct file): New member dlopen_ptr.
gnumake.h (GMK_EXPORT): Define to dllexport/dllimport
decorations for Windows and to nothing on other platforms.
(gmk_eval, gmk_expand, gmk_add_function): Add GMK_EXPORT qualifier
to prototypes.
makeint.h (MAIN): Define before including gnumake.h, to give
correct dllexport decorations to exported functions.
(load_file): Adjust prototype.
loadapi.c: Don't include gnumake.h, since makeint.h already
includes it, and takes care of defining MAIN before doing so.
build_w32.bat (LinkGCC): Produce an import library for functions
exported by Make for loadable dynamic objects.
w32/compat/posixfcn.c (dlclose): New function.
w32/include/dlfcn.h (dlclose): Add prototype.
scripts/features/load: Fix signatures of testload_gmk_setup and
explicit_setup, to bring them in line with the documentation.
Provide a simple API for loaded objects to interact with GNU make. I still
won't guarantee that this API won't change but it's much closer to something
that's supported and provides easy-to-use interfaces with a public header
file.
