43bdf499d5 Fix race condition on shutdown
This commit fixes primarily a race condition that occurs when xinit(1) shuts
down: by not acting properly fluxbox gets caught in an infinite loop. It
caused bug #1100.

xinit(1) sends a SIGHUP signal to all processes. fluxbox tries to shutdown
itself properly by shutting down workspaces and screens. While doing that, the
Xserver might be gone already. Additionally, fluxbox used to restart() itself
on SIGHUP, which is clearly not the right thing to do when xinit(1) is about
to end the session.

So, fluxbox does this:

* handling SIGHUP now shuts down fluxbox without clearing workspaces and
  screens.

* A 2 second alarm() is triggered in Fluxbox::shutdown() as a last resort

* XSetIOErrorHandler() is used to recognize the disconnect from the xserver.

* SIGUSR1 is for restarting fluxbox, SIGUSR2 for reloading the config

* FbTk/SignalHandler.cc/hh is gone; this unused abstraction served currently
  no real purpose. Signal handling is now done in main.cc

* Unrelated to the issue itself src/main.cc was trimmed down quite a bit and
  the code (responsible for handling the command line interface) was moved to
  src/cli*

7541054b29 build-sys: move to non-recursive build
This rather large change will attempts to make 'make' to work better.
See excellent paper 'Recursive Make Considered Harmful' by Peter Miller
for further explanation why several make files is worse than one for
whole project.

Note.  The tests are build with 'make check' rather than defining TEST.

82e300c7ba build-sys: use iconv library detections from gettext
This patch took copy of config.rpath from gettext 0.18.2 to build-aux/
directory.  Software projects usually does not need to do that, because
the file is copied by gettext autopoint in autogen.sh or bootstrap.

In Fluxbox case calling autopoint seems wrong, as it would generate po/
directory with necessary make automation, adn 'msgid' & 'msgstr' files,
but that is not how the translations are done in this project.

9e5eddfc3d build-sys: use pkg-config to locate dependencies
This commit alters XRANDR (X Resize And Rotate) extension dependency,
which is expected to have at least version 1.4.  Earlier old versions of
xrandr were supported, at least to some extent.

The earlier _GNU_SOURCE definitions possibly did not take effect
everywhere where it was intended.

23602ef23d rename configure.in to configure.ac
It seems autoheader version 2.69 does not work with configure.in file,
and AM_CONFIG_HEADER macro.

aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
configure.in:585: warning: macro 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER' not found in library
Executing:  autoheader

autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in

Renamed from configure.in (Browse further)
