If sys/soundcard.h is actually linux/soundcard.h then it supports only OSSv3
API. This may happen when OSSLIBDIR == /usr while forgetting to replace
sys/soundcard.h from glibc.
However, after fa620ff waf prefers native implementation which is inferior
on Linux. To fix try making waf prefer oss-audio-4front. It's quite unusual
to have 4Front OSS installed where native implementation is superior, anyway.

Make the false positives path also undef the 4Front define.

Fixes#396
This prevents waf from running test programs after compilation. A better
approach would be to only remove this option if the check actually errors,
but we are using this only for Lua anyway.
The OSS checks were a big mess and quite buggy. This reimplementes them using
a declarative approach and clearly distinguishing between the various OSS
implementations. The code should now almost be auto-documenting.
We currently support the following implementations of OSS:
* platform-specific (with `sys/soundcard.h`)
* SunAudio (default on NetBSD and useable on OpenBSD even if we have sndio
support there).
* 4Front (default on FreeBSD)
Since now each OSS check also checks for the appropriate soundcard header,
remove the old soundcard check.
Many thanks to @bugmen0t for in depth info about all the BSDs.
Check #380 and #359 for more info on this commit.
Original commit was implemented differently by @bugmen0t. The problem here was
that the waf API was called directly, instead of using our own check_cc (which
defaults, among other things, to non mandatory checks).
- without Utils.* always returns empty string
- subprocess doesn't need extra quoting for sh -c
- "source" is a bash'ism, not in POSIX sh
- most shell commands embed newline at the end
waf apparently only appends a pkgconfig flag if it doesn't already exist in
the lib storage. Since our configure often checks for multiple libraries in
one call we want to keep the flags as is. This is especially important to
always keep stuff like -lm in the right place.
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.

and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing.
