This seems cleaner, and also opens the door to making the choice be
dependent on the compiler being used.

back --infodir, which several automatic build environments expect to exist.
Add --without-docdir to prevent installation of documentation, which is
helpful for things like RPM that have their own method of installing
documentation.

Fixes compilation failure with --enable-thread-safety --with-perl and Perl

When --enable-debug is used, then the default CFLAGS for non-GCC is just
-g without -O.

Backpatch enhancement of Autoconf inline test that detects problems with
the HP C compiler.

It uses -O2 for gcc (generated by autoconf), and -O for non-gcc, unless
the template overrides it.

getopt_long().  This is more or less the same problem as we saw earlier
with getaddrinfo() and struct addrinfo, and for the same reason: random
user-added libraries might contain the subroutine, but there's no
guarantee we will find the matching header files.

that OS=hpux is the same as CPU=hppa.  First steps at doing this.
With these patches, we still work on hppa with either gcc or HP's cc.
We might work on hpux/itanium with gcc, but I can't test it.  Definitely
will not work on hpux/itanium with non-gcc compiler, for lack of spinlock
code.
