* To benefit from the precompiled-header (PCH) it MUST provide "the first C token."
Advantages:
Never worry about the include stack again. Remember, this means one less thing
for random module developers, community people learning C++, and new developers
to deal with. It should reduce the learning curve and barrier for participation.
Disadvantages:
Makes overall compilation a bit slower, especially without any additional
work to improve it again. There are several opportunities, places where the
PCH is probably being ignored, etc that can be addressed.
* librb is no longer a separately configured subproject.
* charybdis is now a standalone directory with a binary.
* Include path layout now requires a directory ircd/ rb/ etc.
.la archives are prohibited by most Linux distributions because they
clutter up the linker. They may get caught up as victims in scripts that
purge .la files. Besides, .la files don't matter for simple loadable
modules on most systems.
So, what we do now instead is just use the platform suffix detected by
libtool.
Due to reversed conditionals, it wasn't being generated properly.
This also actually fixes its generation in librb by just copying the
Charybdis version. Unbundlers will want to take note of this.
