2019-06-05  Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch@gnu.org>

	* general: include all (possibly) generated headers by '#include <header>'
	  (search "system directories" [which in all known compilers are pre-fixed
	  with the ones specified with '-I', which is done for the builddir
	  already]) instead of '#include "header"' (which is searched next to the
	  including file first). This applies to all files that include config.h,
	  defaults.h, tarstamp.h, parser.h, ppparse.h.

2019-05-30  Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch@gnu.org>

	* configure.ac: fix bug #559 avoid useless dependencies (all but libm,
	  needs to be inspected later) by not copying LIBCOB_LIBS to COB_LIBS
	  and resetting LIBS after XML2/CJSON check;
	  now substituting LIBCOB_CPPFLAGS
	* configure.ac: --with-cjson=local added (defines LOCAL_CJSON),
	  allowing to built-in cjson into libcob when its sources are found and
	  linkable in folder libcob (both srcdir and builddir supported);
	  takes precedence over search by means of pkg-config and/or
	  CJSON_CFLAGS and CJSON_LIBS
	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): moved creation of windows source zip to a
	  separate target and make it work for out-of-tree builds, too
	* create_win_dist.sh: all external paths are now specified by
	  environment variables; use rsync with exclude filters for
	  build_windows instead of plain cp

	  scripts to be executable

	* Makefile.am (noinst_SCRIPTS) add pre-inst-env

	  from current pkg-config release (0.29.2)
	* configure.ac: included optional pkg-config (cross-compile aware),
	  currently only used for libxml2 (and only if xml2-config not found);

	* configure.ac: check for libxml2, but don't abort if not available;
	  prefer pkg-config over xml2-config
