Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no
need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc.

Move stamp (dependency) files outside the (version specific) source
directories, so other packages can hardcode dependencies on them instead
of having to use <PACKAGE>_VERSION variables.
This is important as the variables in the make rules are evaluated when
the rules is seen, which might be before the dependent makefile is parsed
(and hence <PACKAGE>_VERSION variable is known, screwing up stuff.
The downside of this is that the package isn't automatically rebuilt
when the version changes (E.G. by a svn update) and you now also have to
remove the stamp files next to $(BUILD_DIR)/<PACKAGE>-* to force a rebuild.
The following changes allow for use of a central configure cache
file. This speeds up configuration of packages.
Its use is configurable at the top level (BR2_CONFIG_CACHE - default n).
Old style makefiles can use it if they use the following MACRO in makefiles:
$(AUTO_CONFIGURE_TARGET) see my change to directfb.mk.
New style Autotools.in will use it if you set the global option.
However you can enable the global option and on a per package overrule it by doing
the following: $(PKGNAME)_USE_CONFIG_CACHE = NO see fontconfig.mk for an example
of this.
Finally I have removed a few config variable settings which indicated no CXX compiler
as this is wrong and breaks the build when using this central cache.

I would appreciate feedback on this change (I have been testing for 2-3 weeks)
But I can never test all cases! If you enable the BR2_CONFIG_CACHE option some
Makefile.autotools.in based packages may now break - I cannot build them all.
In this case you may need to remove config options that are being hardcoded all
over the place (like gtk saying we have 2 CXX compiler) or disable the use
of CONFIG CACHE file like I have done in fontconfig.
I can build all packages required to get WebKit on DirectFB up and running
and it runs fine.
I will try to resolve any issues this creates as fast as I can.

This patch adds a patch to fix bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16464 affecting parallel
compilation of fontconfig.
The patch is the one proposed in the bugzilla entry, available at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=17294.
Without this patch, the compilation (at BR2_JLEVEL > 1) of fontconfig
sometimes fails with:
In file included from fc-case.c:25:
../src/fcint.h:118:21: error: fcalias.h: No such file or directory
