At the moment, ngIRCd fails to build against OpenSSL 1.1 since the
configure check probes for the SSL_library_init symbol which was
removed, but probing for a different function availabe in both versions
solves that problem: SSL_new().
And as SSL_library_init is no longer needed, the patch boils down to
probing SSL_new to assert libssl is available, and disabling the
SSL_library_init invokation from OpenSSL 1.1 on, see also another
application[1] (NSCA-ng) that did pretty much the same.
Patch was compile-tested on both Debian jessie (OpenSSL 1.0.2) and
stretch (OpenSSL 1.1).

(Patch by Christoph, commit message cherry-picked from the email thread
on the mailing list by Alex. Thanks!)
For example, Interix is missing this function, which prevented
ngIRCd to build on this platform. When setgroups(3) isn't available,
a warning message is issued when ngIRCd starts up.
ngIRCd already includes <sys/types.h> in a lot of places without
checking for its existence (for example in "ngircd.c", "io.c", ...),
therefore make it a required header file.
If libwrap becomes added earlier, other tests may fail because of not all
external variables required by libwrap are available when linking: for
example allow_severity and deny_severity.
This patch adds generic support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables
(CFLAGS_END has been implemented already).
Problem spotted on OpenBSD.
We already require GNU autoconf 2.67 for generating our build system (at
least this is what the INSTALL document states), so update the build system
accordingly and implement all changes that autoupdate(1) suggests:
- Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT
- Use AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE
- Remove AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE)
At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a broken implementation of getaddrinfo()
which doesn't handle "0" as numeric service correctly. This patch adds
a configure check for this case and changes all calling functions to only
use getaddrinfo() if it "works".

FreeBSD prior to 10.0 does not automatically stir on fork(). Same with
current NetBSD. If arc4random_stir() is present assume is needed and
call it instead of srand().
On some installations iconv_open() is actually libiconv_open().
iconv_open() is the glibc version while libiconv_open() is the libiconv
version. This patch enables ngIRCd to detect both cases.
Tested on OpenBSD 5.1.
Closes bug #151.
The header file "netinet/in_systm.h" already is optional in ngIRCd, so
don't require it in the configure script. Now ngIRCd can be built on
Minix 3 again :-)
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.

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 ...
