commit --author was added by 146ea06 (git commit --author=$name: look $name up
in existing commits), but its documentation was sorely lacking compared to its
excellent commit message. This commit tries to improve the documentation.

inline declaration does not work on AIX
Allow disabling "inline"
Some platforms lack socklen_t type
Make NO_{INET_NTOP,INET_PTON} configured independently
Makefile: some platforms do not have hstrerror anywhere
git-compat-util.h: some platforms with mmap() lack MAP_FAILED definition
test_cmp: do not use "diff -u" on platforms that lack one
fixup: do not unconditionally disable "diff -u"
tests: use "test_cmp", not "diff", when verifying the result
Do not use "diff" found on PATH while building and installing
enums: omit trailing comma for portability
Makefile: -lpthread may still be necessary when libc has only pthread stubs
Rewrite dynamic structure initializations to runtime assignment
Makefile: pass CPPFLAGS through to fllow customization
Avoid attempts to stat() the contents of '', which could happen
when the root directory is empty. Additionally, remove the
unnecessary '_' stat optimization since it was confusing and
possibly throwing off the non-existent case.

PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers
and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org
PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and
probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI).
Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI
standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line
launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web
app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses
HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server.
git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This
wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI
script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI
standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner.
The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated
gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf).
To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled
Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be
available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting
PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.

Add generic httpd_is_ready subroutine, which busy-waits for web server to
be started, by checking if $port is opened on localhost. This is used to
avoid situation where web browser is started before web server is ready to
accept connection, and fails.
It uses IO::Socket::INET module, which is core Perl module since v5.6.0.
Alternate solution, possible for those web servers that can run arbitrary
code hooks after they bind the listen socket (after they start accepting
connections), would be to use some kind of blocking mechanism: FIFO or
lockfile, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/147337/focus=147566
This can be always added later, as a web server specific branch in
httpd_is_ready function.

This way running e.g. "git instaweb" after "git instaweb --stop" would
not try to kill already stopped web server.
This is probably important only for those web servers that are
"daemonized" by git-instaweb itself, i.e. for those where it is
git-instaweb that creates pidfile. Currently it is includes only
'mongoose' web server, but it would also include 'plackup' web server
(added in later commit).

IRIX 6.5.26m does not define the 'sgi' macro, but it does define an '__sgi'
macro. Since later IRIX versions (6.5.29m) define both macros, and since
an underscore prefixed macro is preferred anyway, use '__sgi' to detect
compilation on SGI IRIX.

In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible
placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option
to git log.
This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference
to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>"
phrase.

git-instaweb in its current form (re)creates gitweb.cgi and
(some of) required static files in $GIT_DIR/gitweb/ directory.
Splitting gitweb would make it difficult for git-instaweb to
continue with this method.
Use the instaweb.gitwebdir config variable to point git-instaweb script
to a global directory which contains gitweb files as server root
and the httpd.conf along with server logs and pid go into
'$(GIT_DIR)/gitweb' directory.
