Summary: Build without error on Haiku

Initial Comment:
This patch changes configure.in so Privoxy will build on Haiku (http://haiku-os.org) out-of-the-box.

Haiku provides a pthreads implementation in its system library, libroot, as opposed to a separate library (libpthread). With this patch applied, autoconf will detect Privoxy is being built on Haiku and will omit the "-lpthread" option to gcc as it is not needed and causes the build to fail.

I've tested this on Haiku (hrev44584) and Linux (Fedora 17) and with the patch applied Privoxy builds on both systems without problem.

For Haiku, this is the configure command I used:

./configure --prefix=`finddir B_COMMON_DIRECTORY` \
                --sbindir=`finddir B_COMMON_BIN_DIRECTORY` \
                --sysconfdir=`finddir B_COMMON_ETC_DIRECTORY`/privoxy \
                --localstatedir=`finddir B_COMMON_VAR_DIRECTORY` \
                --datarootdir=`finddir B_COMMON_DOCUMENTATION_DIRECTORY` \
                --infodir=`finddir B_COMMON_DOCUMENTATION_DIRECTORY`/info \
                --mandir=`finddir B_COMMON_DOCUMENTATION_DIRECTORY`/man \
                --with-user=user \
                --with-group=root \
                LDFLAGS='-L/boot/common/lib -lnetwork'

Thanks!

Yes, that code is not used on Haiku:

http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/-BEOS-,1

...correctly, I believe, since it looks like its main purpose is to disable
pthreads support (which Haiku offers, but BeOS didn't).

Thanks a lot for the patch, committed to CVS.

BTW, can you comment on whether or not Privoxy's code in "#ifdef __BEOS__"
sections is used on Haiku?
