    Address OpenSSL initialization issues when using third-party libraries. · 92ef8a6f
    Kevin P. Fleming authored
    When Asterisk is used with various third-party libraries (CURL, PostgresSQL,
    many others) that have the ability themselves to use OpenSSL, it is possible
    for conflicts to arise in how the OpenSSL libraries are initialized and
    shutdown. This patch addresses these conflicts by 'wrapping' the important
    functions from the OpenSSL libraries in a new shared library that is part
    of Asterisk itself, and is loaded in such a way as to ensure that *all*
    calls to these functions will be dispatched through the Asterisk wrapper
    functions, not the native functions.
    
    This new library is optional, but enabled by default. See the CHANGES file
    for documentation on how to disable it.
    
    Along the way, this patch also makes a few other minor changes:
    
    * Changes MODULES_DIR to ASTMODDIR throughout the build system, in order to
      more closely match what is used during run-time configuration.
    
    * Corrects some errors in the configure script where AC_CHECK_TOOLS was used
      instead of AC_PATH_PROG.
    
    * Adds a new variable for linker flags in the build system (DYLINK), used for
      producing true shared libraries (as opposed to the dynamically loadable
      modules that the build system produces for 'regular' Asterisk modules).
    
    * Moves the Makefile bits that handle installation and uninstallation of the
      main Asterisk binary into main/Makefile from the top-level Makefile.
    
    * Moves a couple of useful preprocessor macros from optional_api.h to
      asterisk.h.
