Starting with Anope 1.9.8, the ngIRCd protocol module is included in the
Anope distribution, so there's no longer any need to support our own (but
now heavily outdated!) patches. Therefore remove them.
This closes bug #109.
* bug109-CHARCONV:
Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building
Debian ngircd-full[-dbg]: enable CHARCONV
Add "CHARCONV" to "feature string" when enabled
Implement new IRC+ "CHARCONV" command
Added new configure option "--with-iconv"

This fixes
automake-1.12/am/library.am: warning: 'libngipaddr.a':

* automake-am11-am12:

configure.ng: don't require GIT tree to detect version string
Include .mailmap file in distribution archives
Include all build-system files into distribution archives
Change build system to support new and old GNU automake
Starting with GNU automake 1.12, the "de-ANSI-fication support" has been
removed, which ngIRCd used to enable building itself on very old systems.
Now the problem is, that using automake >= 1.12 isn't working because of
the now unsupported M4 macros. Therefore the solution that this patch
implements is to dynamically generate the automake input files with our
own ./autogen.sh script:
configure.ng => configure.in
Makefile.ng => Makefile.am
This is quite an ugly approach, but it works and enables us to:
1. use current automake >= 1.12 for development and "private builds",
2. still build distribution archives using automake 1.11.x that have
"de-ANSI-fication support" enabled in the generated Makefile's.
And if you are using Makefile's generated with a automake version newer
than 1.11.x (without "de-ANSI-fication support"), the ./configure script
warns you not to use this generated build system to generate distribution
archives.
Drawback of this patch: you MUST use our autogen.sh script, you can't call
the autoconf/automake commands directly any more; but autoreconf should
still work ...
