This build was never complete and also was not maintained probebly.
It is also dropped in favour of meson which is cool, merged, works & is fast.

a new shiny buildtool that currently completes in the total of ~ 4 min..
1 min. conf time
2:30 min. build time
Where autotools takes:
1:50 min. conf time
3:40 min. build time.
meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.

Depends on D7011
so the process was waiting to be killed (waiting forever) and i used
pause() but this isnt windows-friendly, so since this process expects
to be killed by the parent process, then use a for (;;) with lon long
long sleeps... instead.
this shoud fix T5174
so here's the ugly problem. libproxy. yes. we've discussed memory
usage (e.g. it may have to execute javascript and pull in lots of deps
etc.) but we dlopene'd on the fly. ok... but this didn't solve another
issue i hit:
libproxy was causing enlightenment to abort(). some internal bit of
libproxy was raising a c++ exception. this wasn't caught. this causes
an abort(). takes down your entire desktop. FANTASTIC. this is bad. i
wouldnt' expect a library we depend on to be THIS anti-social but
libproxy seemingly is. it SHOULd catch its error sand just propagate
back to us so we can handle gracefully.
there reall is no way around this - isolate libproxy. it's even worse
that libproxy can load arbitrary modules that come from anywhere sho
who knows what issues this can cause. isolation is the best solution i
can think of.
so this makes an elf+net_proxy_helper we spawn the first time we need
a proxy lookup. we re-use that binary again and again until it exits
(it should exit after 10 seconds of being idle with no requests coming
in/pending). it'll respawn again later if needed. this involves now
the efl net threads having to marshall back to mainloop to do the
spawn and to write to the proxy process (reading is done by async exe
data events and the data is passed down a thread queue to the waitng
efl net thread). if the exe dies with pending requests unanswered then
it's respawned again and the req's are re-sent to it... just in case.
it has a limit on how often it'll respawn quickly.
this seems to work in my limited testing. this ALSO now isolates
memory usage of libproxy to another slave process AND this process
will die taking its memory with it once it's been idle for long
enough. that;s also another good solution to keeping libproxy impact
at bay.
