[Adam Heath <doogie@brainfood.com>]

I spent last night and this morning splitting the single patch I had, into 13
separate patches.  Most are build system tweaks(DESTDIR, parallel make,
INSTALL, proper target depends).  Also, proper PIC support in the libs, and a
few other things.

Below is the meta-info that my patch oriented build system maintains.  I'll be
sending each patch as a separate mail(I apologize for the mail flood ahead of
time).

ps: I decided to split out these patches, and send upstream, before uploading
    my deb packages.  If possible, I'd like to have these applied, and a new
    version rolled based on them.

pps: These are generated against 2.0.3.

Name: proper-depends.patch
Description: Use proper targets in makefiles
 A rule in make should produce only what it's target allows.  When it
 produces side-effects, things like ctrl-c and parallellism break it
 oddly.

Name: pic-lib.patch
Description: support PIC code generation
 Libraries have 2 methods of being compiled; a .so must contain non-pic
 objects, while the .a can contain standard objects.

Name: doc-make-vars.patch
Description: Use vars for complex programs
 It's generally standard to call complex programs indirectly thru make
 variables.  This allows them to be replaced easily with alternative
 versions, without editting each makefile.
 .
 Additionally, this patch makes use of $(pkgdocdir) in docs/Makefile.

 programs, and install data files.

Name: parallel-make.patch

Description: support parallellism better
 Using shell for loops doesn't allow make to run it the most parallel
 modes.  Use patsubst/addsuffix tricks to make this work.

 that to restart.

Name: linux-2.4-modules.patch
Description: conditionally call modules targets for 2.4
 There was a complaint on the mailing list about linux 2.6 not building
 if module support was disabled; a patch was done to fix this.  However,
 the same change was not done to the 2.4 files.

Name: prefix-DESTDIR.patch
Depends: INSTALL.patch, doc-make-vars.patch, fhs-paths.patch, linux-2.4-modules.patch, parallel-make.patch, pic-lib.patch, proper-depends.patch
Description: use DESTDIR correctly
 Standard makefiles always attempt to install to the root(/).  Setting
 DESTDIR is the normal way to install to an alternative location.
 .
 Setting prefix has the possibility of breaking programs, as the prefix
 may have been embedded inside a compiled binary.
