    configure: drop various AC_macros
    
    As of last commit we no longer create any binaries, thus config.h, CC
    and libtool are no longer required.

    Rework the pthread-stub design
    
    The current design handles the most common use-cases, although it causes
    breakage on others (when a pthreads liked library is dlopened). Refer to
    the README for further details.
    
    The new design, makes pthread-stubs a "meta" package which _never_
    provides a library but only a .pc file.
    
    pthread-stubs checks if the run-time (libc or otherwise) expose
    lightweight pthread symbols to link against and defaults to a full blown
    pthread.
    
    This way projects can use the Cflags/Libs without having to know the
    details. Alternatively they can directly link against the pthread
    implementation, although that might bring unwarranted overhead.
    
    v2:
     - Remove m4 macro, always use -pthread and document why.
     - Sort the symbol list, document how it's derived what is allowed and
    what not.
     - Rework the README to start from current state of afairs to past ones.
     - Document platforms that are 'safe' and ones that are not.
    
    v3:
     - Add SVN note about -pthread + Cygwin/mingw/mingw-w64

    Revert "list.m4: Add some new pthread symbols"
    
    This reverts commit fa6db2f9c018c54a47e94c0175450303d700aa92.
    
    This commit causes pthread-stubs to provide a library (with stubs) for
    most platforms. This by itself is the goal of the project, although
    unveiled severe design issue with the project as a whole.
    
    That will be covered and addressed in a later commit.
    
    In other words: pthread-stubs won't provide/guarantee these symbols any
    more. That is perfectly fine since a) there has been no pthread-stubs
    release that provides the API, and b) these should be provided by a full
    blown pthreads implementation.

    autogen.sh: quote path variables
    
    If the pathname has space things will explode in various ways. Avoid
    that by adding quotation marks where applicable.
