* NEWS: Update the release and date
* configure.ac: Update the release number

Initial implementation by Christof Warlich <cwarlich@gmx.de>

* NEWS: Announce the new feature.
* doc/make.texi (Other Special Variables): Document .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/dep.h (struct dep): New flag to note extra prereq deps.
* src/filedef.h (expand_extra_prereqs): Declare a function to expand
the value of .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/file.c (expand_extra_prereqs): Given a struct variable lookup
of .EXTRA_PREREQS, convert it into a list of deps and for each one
make sure it has a struct file and has the new flag set.
(snap_file): A new function invoked by hash_map that will perform
per-file operations: set up second expansion, intermediate, and also
.EXTRA_PREREQS.  Manage circular dependencies by ignoring them.
(snap_deps): Defer per-file operations until the end.  Look up the
global .EXTRA_PREREQS and pass it along to snap_file for each file.
* src/implicit.c (struct patdeps): Remember the extra prereqs flag.
(pattern_search): Transfer extra prereqs flag settings into the
matched pattern rule.
* src/rule.h (snap_implicit_rules): Rename count_implicit_rules to
snap_implicit_rules since we now do more than count.
* src/rule.c (snap_implicit_rules): As we walk through all the pattern
rules, add in any global .EXTRA_PREREQS to the dep list.  Ensure we
take them into account for the max number of prereqs and name length.
* src/main.c (main): Add extra-prereqs to .FEATURES.
Call the renamed snap_implicit_rules.
* tests/scripts/variables/EXTRA_PREREQS: Add tests.

Avoid using posix_spawn implementations that fail asynchronously when
the spawned program can't be invoked: this means instead of getting
an error such as "No such file or directory" we get just "Exit 127".

Original implementation of the configure.ac macro provided by
Martin Dorey <martin.dorey@hds.com>

Original implementation of the regression tests provided by
Dmitry Goncharov <dgoncharov@users.sf.net>

* configure.ac: Test whether posix_spawn fails asynchronously.  In a
cross-compilation environment, assume that it does not.  If we detect
that it does, fall back to fork/exec.
* tests/scripts/features/exec: Add regression tests for different
shebang invocation methods.

* src/dep.h: Add a new flag PARSEFS_ONEWORD
* src/read.c (parse_file_seq): If PARSEFS_ONEWORD is given, treat the
entire incoming string as a single pattern.
* src/implicit.c (pattern_search): Pass PARSEFS_ONEWORD when parsing
patterns for wildcards.
* tests/scripts/features/patternrules: Add a new test.

If the stem matches a path containing a directory not just a
filename, make sure the second expansion of $* in the
prerequisites matches $* in the recipe.  This requires using
$(*F) when replacing % in the first expansion to preserve the
simple filename.

* src/implicit.c (pattern_search): If lastslash is set prepend
the directory onto the stem.  Then use $(*F) when expanding %.
* tests/scripts/features/se_implicit: Add a test case

If filename contained multiple slashes lastslash is wrongly set to 0.
* configure.ac: Check for the GNU memrchr() extension function.
* src/misc.c (memrchr): Supply memrchr() if not available.

* README.git: Mention changed requirements.

This new feature has a problem: if you provide a load which is
larger than the number of cores then it will always run every job.
Before we can enable it we need to at the least learn how to clamp
this value to the number of cores.  To experiment with it, set
PROC_FD_INIT to -2 in job.c to re-enable the feature.

On Windows the path to the helper tool will contain '\': this will
fail if recipes are run with a POSIX shell.  Convert '\' to '/'
on Windows.  While here, escape any spaces in the path as well.

* tests/thelp.pl: Rename from tests/jhelp.pl.
(op): Use names instead of options for the operations.
(op): Add new operations for sleep, mkdir, and rm.
(op): Enhance wait to time out
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Add a new #HELPER# replacement
(subst_make_string): Use fully-qualified path to thelp.pl
* tests/scripts/features/parallelism: Update to use thelp.pl
and the new named operations.  Use thelp.pl sleep instead of
system-specific sleep commands.
* tests/scripts/features/output-sync: Update to use thelp.pl
instead of complex shell scripts.
* Makefile.am: Distribute tests/thelp.pl instead of tests/jhelp.pl

* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Port exit-status calculation
to Solaris 10 with Perl 5.8.4.

* NEWS: Update the release and date
* configure.ac: Update the release number

* maintMakefile: Set PERLFLAGS to enable warnings.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Clean up issues pointed out by perl -w.

* tests/config-flags.pm.W32: Create a predefined Windows file.
* Makefile.am (test_FILES): Add it to the distribution.
* build_w32.bat: Install tests/config-flags.pm if not existing.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl (get_config): Create new function.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Call get_config() rather than
using %CONFIG_FLAGS directly.
* tests/scripts/features/load: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/features/loadapi: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/functions/wildcard: Ditto.

Original patch from Dmitry Goncharov <dgoncharov@users.sf.net>.

Our hashing algorithm gives different ordering on LE vs BE systems.

This reverts commit 6264deec.
Further investigation discovers that the real issue is that
GNU Emacs compile mode doesn't have a matching regex for GNU
make error messages generated when targets fail.  I submitted
a patch to GNU Emacs adding a matcher for compile mode.

Users report the Functions version doesn't work correctly for some
older versions of Perl.

Ensure we properly reduce job_slots_used if a command fails because
it doesn't exist/can't be started.

* src/job.h (struct child): Add a field jobslot to be set when using
a job slot.
* src/job.c (start_waiting_job): Remember if we are using a job slot.
(reap_children): Reduce number of job slots used by jobslot.
