Always enable ASLR and DEP when building GKrellM on Windows. Since
GKrellM also does network communication bugs like buffer overflows and
the like may eventually allow remote code execution. By enabling these
build flags such attacks should be quite a bit more complicated
(although still not impossible).
Move all make variables and rules duplicated between gkrellm and
gkrellmd makefiles into a common file that can be included. This
avoids duplication and hopefully avoids the two makefiles getting out
of sync too much. This is also a preparation to ease overriding
toolchain binaries (compiler, linker, pkgconfig) as part of windows
cross compiling.
This change also puts the "ar" tool into a variable that can be
overridden if needed.
Please note that this change uses the GNU Make specific include
statement but AFAICS the makefiles already depend on GNU extensions in
other areas (":=" and "ifdef" are non-standard make syntax).
GLib version 1 is very outdated by now and not available in any recent
Linux distribution. Keeping this code around without actually being
able to test it makes little sense so let's get rid of that.
- Use g_thread_new instead of g_thread create
- Drop explicit call of g_thread_init, it is done implicitely by GLib
since 2.32
- Since this bumps the minimum required GLib version add and extend the
pkg-config based version checks to error out on older GLib versions
Do not use the default LINK_FLAGS value for windows builds, the default
"-E" linker option only causes warnings for MinGW since it's essentially
ignored by the linker.
The flag is also unneeded since linking plugins against the gkrellm
binary is not done on win32 so none of the gkrellm/gkrellmd functions
need to be exported, the API is manually exposed via the win32-specific
libgkrellm/libgkrellmd static libs.
Honor the BINEXT variable in the gkrellm and gkrellmd target to enforce
building with the correct extension. This is needed for recent mingw-w64
cross toolchains since those do not automatically append ".exe" when
linking.
Explicitely add needed include arguments as well as linker arguments
for gmodule. Before this change we relied on gmodule being an implicit
dependency pulled in via the gtk+-2.0 module, this does not seem to be
the case anymore with >=gdk-pixbuf-2.24 and >=pango-1.30.
Thanks for Alexandre Rostovtsev for bringing this up on the mailinglist
and for providing a first patch.

- src/disk.c, server/monitor.c: Add gkrellm_disk_add_by_name() that allows creating disks with a custom label from sysdep code.
- src/Makefile, server/Makefile: Cleanup of darwin/darwin9/macosx targets. All custom variables are now set in src/Makefile and server/Makefile to allow easy building inside these subdirs. Removed very old link-flags which were used before OS X 10.3.
- All Makefiles: Remove unused GTK_CONFIG definitions, they were neither passed as an argument nor executed anywhere.
- Makefile: Update comments documenting Darwin and OS X targets (darwin, darwin9 and macosx)
- src/sysdeps/darwin.c: Use utmpx instead of deprecated utmp.
- src/sysdeps/darwin.c: Fix possible leak in gkrellm_sys_cpu_init(), pinfo was never free'd.
- src/sysdeps/darwin.c: Rewrite disk device enumeration and performance gathering. The previous implementation failed as soon as a single device contained no medium, resulting in no/wrong performance data for all subsequent devices. Also provides labels for krells based on real device-names (uses new gkrellm_disk_add_by_name()).
Makefile, win32.c: Load ntdll.dll and lookup used functions at runtime (safer for future windows version and fixes unintended linking against sscanf() from ntdll)
win32.c: Add gkrellm_sys_inet_cleanup() for proper unloading of iphlpapi.dll
- Revert gkrellm version header change, there are too many places in code/docs containing the version number, one more or less will not hurt
- configure: Make configure shell script write configure.mk and move logic for compiler and linker flags into configure
- configure: Also search openssl and libntlm via pkg-config and fall back to hardcoded library names for linking if not found
- Makefile: Workaround environment-bugs in win32 toolchain by switching from "override CC" to a normal makefile rule for building .o from .c files
- gkrellmd: redo argv parsing, the old one could have read one item too far
- gkrellmd win32: search plugins in installation directory
- gkrellmd win32: print helpful messages on service install/uninstall
- gkrellmd win32: added install target for gkrellmd.conf
- request admin-rights for gkrellmd on win32 (done via manifest file)
- fix make dependencies on sysdeps folder
- new function gkrellmd_exit() to exit gkrellmd properly, gkrellm_sys_main_cleanup() was never called on exit
- make gkrellmd a console application on win32 (first step towards making it an nt-service)
