Summary: Build without error on Haiku (more complete patch)

Initial Comment:
Here's a more complete patch to add out-of-the-box support for Haiku (http://haiku-os.org/).

It improves on the previous patch (ID 3564815) by

- Disabling checks intended for multi-user systems (as Haiku is presently single-user)

- Adding additional library-related settings to remove the need for a custom "LDFLAGS" parameter to configure

- Grouping all custom configuration settings together in a "Haiku specific" section, following the pattern for Solaris, OS/2 and AmigaOS

- Allowing Privoxy to be built with gcc 2.95, desirable as part of Haiku's backwards-compatibility with BeOS---this involved moving a few variable declarations up to the start of functions in filters.c and loadcfg.c

With this patch applied, to configure Privoxy for building on Haiku this simpler command can be 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

Message:
Thanks, Fabian. I've tested the latest code from CVS and it works fine on
Haiku with both gcc 2.95 and gcc 4.

Message:
Thanks again for the patches.

The configure.in part has been committed as-is, the variable declaration
changes have been slightly modified:
http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/loadcfg.c?r1=1.130&r2=1.131
http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/filters.c?r1=1.172&r2=1.173

Please let me know if my modifications make gcc 2.95 unhappy again.
