Cleaner build messages make it easier to spot compiler warnings and errors.
Use make V=1 to get the verbose output back.

Contrary to what I expected, it so happens that modern versions of MinGW
include an implementation of pthread natively by default, so there is no
need to introduce Win32-specific threading code. This means the only
changes required to make UPnP work on Windows are just build parameter
tuning.
This commit forces MinGW to be built statically. This makes linking
against miniupnpc simpler (otherwise we would have to handle the mess
of dllimport & co.) and it also prevents libwinpthread from being linked
dynamically (which it is by default), as this would require additional
DLLs to be distributed. Since static linking is how tinc is
traditionally built on Windows, I don't expect this to be a big deal.
The miniupnpc library is a lightweight UPnP-IGD client.

Contrary to other libraries, this dependency is disabled by default.
This is because the library is somewhat obscure and is only tangentially
useful, so enabling it by default would probably annoy most users.
If --with-systemd is given when running the configure script, two
systemd service files will be installed. There is a template
tinc@.service, which can be used to control individual instances of
tinc. For example:
systemctl enable tinc@foo
Will create an instance for tinc with netname foo. There is also a
tinc.service, which can be used to start and stop all instances at once.
This option is not supported by older, but still widely used versions of
automake. The drawback is that when doing multiple VPATH builds in a
row, the info manual may mention incorrect paths, but it doesn't affect
the executables at all.
This fixes some issues with the build system when building out of tree.
With this commit, it is now possible to do the following:
$ cd /tmp/build
$ /path/to/tinc/configure
$ make
This uses the output of "git describe" directly in configure.ac to
determine the version number to use, instead of hardcoding it.
With this change, current version information is completely removed
from the codebase itself, and is always fetched on-the-fly from git as
the single source of truth.
In order to ensure make dist always uses the current version number in
the contents of the packaged configure script as well as the package
name, a dependency is added to the dist target such that autoconf is
always run before dist to regenerate the version number. If this wasn't
the case, make dist would use the version number from when autoconf was
originally run, not the version number that make dist is running from.
That said, errors from that rule are ignored so that people can still
run make dist without a working autoconf.
In addition, the NEWS check is dropped, as it would then become annoying
because it would force make dist users to always have a line for the
current commit in the NEWS file.
The option "--disable-legacy-protocol" was added to the configure
script. The new protocol does not depend on any external crypto
libraries, so when the option is used tinc is no longer linked to
OpenSSL's libcrypto.
On some platforms (Mac OS X for example), the res_init() function requires
linking with libresolv. On others (Linux, OpenBSD for example), res_init()
lives in libc.
