It is used in libotr (toolkit/Makefile.am) to define a list
of symlinks to the main man page. Search for MANLINKS reveals
that it is used in many other projects.

Regular downloads of packages are verified by checksums, so
--no-check-certificate doesn't compromise the build system,
but the checksums themselves are often updated with update-checksum-%
which in turn calls the regular package download mechanism, so there
is a possibility of downloading and sealing a poisoned file.
On the one hand, old systems may still rely on --no-check-certificate,
so it is not nice to completely disable it for regular downloads.
However keeping this option enabled for backup servers only is enough
to support such systems because of the fallback mechanism.
On the other hand, download from a backup doesn't make sense while
updating a package, because the package is definetely not in the backup yet.
So --no-check-certificate is now enabled only for backup servers
and backup servers are disabled while updating packages.

- move cmake configuration from mxe-conf to cmake-conf
- replace `echo` with templates for readability and maintenance
- allow packages to set other dep files
- set CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMPNNNN in wrapper since
`cmake_minimum_required` or `cmake_policy` can't be set in
toolchain (closes#971)
Minimal implementation to strip the [largest files][lf-gist] by
default, mostly made up of gcc/binutils and test programs.
gdal and geos both produce large libraries, but the libs themselves
aren't worth stripping, it's the 20 odd programs produced by gdal
with those libs statically linked that consume the most space.
I'm leaving these undocumented as the defaults seems reasonable and
the interface may well change when we enable debug/release variants.

Parameter $(PKG)_UA overrides default user agent used by wget to download
a package. It is needed, because download server www.ics.forth.gr from where
levmar is downloaded, crashes on default user agent Wget/1.13.4.
User agent for levmar was set to MXE. Now the server works.
see https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/1519
The following script was applied:
sed ':a;/part of MXE.$/{N;s/\n//;ba}' -i $(git grep -l 'part of MXE')
sed 's/\(part of MXE\).*\(See index.html\)/\1. \2/' -i \
$(git grep -l 'part of MXE.*See index.html')
before='This file is part of MXE. See index.html for further information.'
after='This file is part of MXE. See LICENSE.md for licensing information.'
sed "s/$before/$after/" -i $(git grep -l 'part of MXE')
Then git grep 'index.html for further information' revealed two other files.
One of them was patched manually (patch.mk). Makefile has text
"See index.html for further information" unrelated to licensing.

Removing MXE directory with "rm -rf" used to fail on file
usr/readonly/.gitkeep because directory usr/readonly was readonly.
Now readonly directory is created in tmp-* directory and .gitkeep
is not created for it (because tmp-* is not under usr/).
Problems with removing MXE directory are fixed even in case
of interrupted build.

* add EDITOR, PS1, TERM for basic functionality of interactive shells
* separate mxe related variables
* identify source of ACLOCAL_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Dependencies of build-matrix.html were written without
regarding plugins. It resulted in the following error
on Debian Wheezy (which uses plugin "plugins/native/wheezy/"):
$ make build-matrix.html
make: *** No rule to make target `src/autoconf.mk',
needed by `build-matrix.html'. Stop.
sometimes it's necessary to not build inside the mxe folder. The
variable MXE_TMP can be used to change the base directory for creating
tmp directories that are used for building.
Rationale: when using virtualbox to build the cross-compile environment
and the mxe project is in a shared folder, at least stripping is not
working because of an internal error of the shared filesystem. So the
solution is to change the tmp-directory to a place inside the VM.
MXE recongized file src/lua-rapidjson-1-use-unix-file-functions.patch
as a patch for lua, however it was intended to be a patch for lua-rapidjson.
Patch filename pattern was src/$(1)-*.patch.
* captured "rapidjson-1-use-unix-file-functions".
Currently * was replaced with [0-9]* to require patch name starting with
a digit.
