Many changes in latest snapshot


I've implemented the new signal handling scheme that I was mumbling
about previously.  I ended up touching a lot of files but, happily,
much of the work involved ripping out code that was no longer needed.

Just to provide as many random variables as possible, I have also turned
on thread-safety and minimal pthread support by default.

I've also eliminated the USE_REGISTRY_OPTIONS conditional.  cygwin will
now search the registry for CYGWIN-environment-variable-like options.

It will find them under the HKCU\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options .

Each string name under this category is either the word "default" or is
the full Windows path (including drive) of a program.  The string value
is a CYGWIN environment variable option string like "binmode or
error_start:foo".

Finally, I've added Mumit's comprehensive patch to better handle dynamic
loading.

I've also changed the version number field to reflect the 1.1.0 status
but I haven't gotten around to changing mkvers.sh to do the right thing
with it.  "uname -a" should report 1.1.0, however.
