It was kind of ugly to have this kind of special flag directly in
link.od; now we detect whether it's available. This also gives a
project the ability to override the flag in some other way if they
want.
As a result, rc/shlib.rc needs to be included in all.rc.od if you want
to create or link against shared libraries.
While we're here, also add -Wl,-z,origin on platforms where it works.
This is apparently needed for FreeBSD 8.0 at least, and probably other
platforms.

- Linking shared libraries needs slightly different options.
- We were trying to detect mach_time.h but needed to detect
mach/mach_time.h instead.
While we're here, add a --disable-shared option to ./configure, which
is different from --enable-static. --disable-shared does not build
*new* share libraries, but doesn't pass -static to the linker
(apparently there is no static linking posible on MacOS).
CC.rc was the only "mandatory" detection, which was weird and
inconsistent. Instead, make it optional like the others, and have it
set a HAVE_CC variable appropriately (and have CXX.rc work the same
way). Then, add a default.required.rc.od that checks the HAVE_* for
any variable and aborts if it is not available.
This allows us to fix confusing behaviour in allconfig.do, which would
try every compiler on the system, but redo would print a (non-fatal)
error message (and prevent redo-stamp optimization) when CC.rc failed
for any non-working compilers. Now CC.rc just politely reports that it
didn't find a compiler. Then we change all.rc.od to make CC.rc
mandatory.

More generally, default.func.rc.od wasn't super useful because you
couldn't specify either a header file or library dependencies. Drop it
and make an explicit clock_gettime.rc.od. As a bonus, this also checks
that CLOCK_MONOTONIC exists as expected.

To test it out, try this:
./do -j10 build
cd docs/cookbook/c
redo -j10 test
It should detect all the compilers on your system and make three
separate builds for each one: normal, debug, and optimized. Then it
tries to run a test program under each one.
If there are windows cross compilers and you also have 'wine'
installed, it'll try running the test program under wine as well.
redoconf currently has no documentation other than the example program.
We'll fix that later.
