Makefile.am,parser changes, packages distribution

[Massimo Manghi <mx...@apache.org>]

As part of the transition to the mod_rivet_ng core I added a 
preprocessor condition in src/parser/rivetParser.c that builds an 
alternate form of Rivet_Parser, dropping the support of the 'toplevel' 
flag that composed and evaluated a parsed template within a the 
::request name space. There is more do to in mod_rivet_ng in order to 
have a tidy code: the ::rivet namespace is created twice now and there 
is code disabled by commenting it that probably can go away now. The 
test suite should take mod_rivet_ng as reference and therefore 
tests/broken.test should compare the expected output with the current 
error handler output.

The Makefile.am stuff has changed quite a bit in order to support the 
'dist' target of automake. This enables us to create a tar ball by 
simply running 'make dist'. Unfortunately 'make distcheck' fails because 
somewhere in the build process a _config.sed file is created and is 
supposed to be removed, but I failed to find out in what stage and 
section is created. I haven't spent much efforts on this since it's 
really a small speck in the whole building process.

Stuff in rivet/packages now go into the distribution tar ball only if 
explicitly copied in the Makefile.am install-packages target. It's a 
nuisance at first but enables us to have a finer control on a release

I currently removed from the rivet 3.0 release the following 
unmaintained (and perhaps unused) packages

  - simpledb
  - commserver
  - dtcl
  - rivet_ncgi

I know there quite a lot of stuff David worked on it, so I ask him if he 
wants to have some of these packages back into the distribution

  happy new year (once again)
