n.pepinpe requested in #540 to allow overwriting the automatically searched
CFLAGS and LIBS for used libraries. This should allow distributors to set the
build configuration without patching the makefile. This is important for
systems were pkg-config or sdl-config aren't normally used.

The GCC introduced Link-time optimization in GCC 4.5 (2010-04-14). This should
be long enough available that interested users have upgraded to a compiler
supporting it.
The MSVC project already enabled WholeProgramOptimization since a long time.
Enabling it by default in GCC seems to be equally valid.
The GCC manual states for different parameters that the options for compilation
must also be used when linking. The options for compilation are stored in
CXXFLAGS and added to LINK.o to fix the behavior.
Option which need this are for example -fPIC/-fPIE or -flto.
Some systems don't have the required boost support and would not be able to
compile glide64 without adding a lot of new dependencies to their build
environment.
The newest boost version (1.5x) completely stripped the -mt suffix from the
libraries. This seems to be the default now and was already supported in
earlier versions (1.4x). Users requiring the suffix can still add them using
BOOST_SUFFIX and BOOST_THREAD_SUFFIX.
Some linker on different platforms don't handle the garbage collection
correctly and create extreme bloated binaries. Therefore, leave it to the user
to enable this feature or not.
The glide64 plugin for mupen64plus is available at the same time as the
glide64mk2 video plugin. Both support different features and use different
configuration options. A clear distinction is necessary to avoid confusion by
the users.
The current ASM conversion hack was improved to fix the major texture problems
in Zelda. It is still not finished and additional work has to be done to make
the code accurate.
The remaining work blocks were left in place.
