printed out as a warning, when in fact it's an error (and was treated as
such). Same for ZIP on non-zip compile. Reported by Stealth (#0003833).

- When pkg-config is present but does not recognize --static, use
default c-ares library options.
- Set default c-ares library options to -lcares on FreeBSD and others.
Set to -lcares -lrt on Linux (previously was -lcares -lrt for all).
Thanks to goldenwolf for the bugreport (#0003803) and providing a test-
shell to trace this issue down.
such as 3 connections per 60 seconds. Previously that could result in 3
per 90 seconds due to timer inaccuracy, now max 65 seconds (max 5s
inaccuracy).
In the IRCd world correct time is very important. This means that time
should be correct when the IRCd is booted, either by running ntpd/ntpdate
on the system or some other synchronization software, or by using the
built-in timesync feature.
Whenever the clock is adjusted for more than a few seconds AFTER the IRCd
has booted, it can lead to dangerous effects ranging from unfair
timestamps
for nicks and channels (and hence the possibility to takeover channels),
to even completely stalling the IRCd (negative timeshift) or making it so
nobody can connect anymore due to throttling (positive timeshift).
We now try to 'fix' the worst effects such as the IRCd freeze and
throttling. This does not fix the whole problem, so I've added some big
warnings when the clock is adjusted, including an annoying one every 5
minutes if the clock was set backwards, until the time is OK again
(catches up with the original time).

set::spamfilter::slowdetect-fatal, set::ssl::server-cipher-list,
set::ssl::renegotiate-bytes, set::ssl::renegotiate-timeout,
set::watch-away-notification and ./unreal gencloak. Reported by Bock
(#0003764).
- set::ssl::renegotiate-bytes: fix when specifying a value such as 10m.
- './unreal gencloak' now actually works
- Fix typo in user mode q notice, reported by Strawberry_Kittens and others
(#0003761).
- Possible fix for MAC OS X compile problem - UNCONFIRMED.
