Considering that pnglibconf is a whole mini-system for configuring and
building libpng, it should be placed in its own dedicated subdirectory.
Any future additions, including tests and documentation, should go into
this subdirectory.
One exception: pnglibconf.h.prebuilt is moved to the top-level source
directory, where pnglibconf.h would be. This follows the organization
pattern typically used with the "*.in" files, for example.
All references to the pnglibconf artifacts, found in machine-readable
code and in human-readable comments, are updated accordingly.
Split AR_RC into AR and ARFLAGS. The variables AR and ARFLAGS are
de-facto standards (like CC and CFLAGS, LD and LDFLAGS, etc.) that
may be overridden when running make. Moreover, configuring CC, LD,
AR, etc., to point to a cross-platform compiler, linker, librarian,
etc., is a de-facto standard practice as well.
Also remove the MKDIR_P variable definitions from all makefiles.
They've been leftovers from the removal of the "install*" targets.
Delete variables (ALIGN, ARCH, DOCS) and targets (writelock) that are
no longer necessary.
Reorder the object file lists alphabetically, consistently across all
makefiles and build scripts.
Apply other minor fixes.
to prevent warnings about direct access to png structs by libpng functions
while building libpng. They need to be tested, especially
those using compilers other than gcc.
