I have an potential initial release of a backend for iOptron alt-az mounts.
I have tested it and it appears to work well both from the command line and
driven by Gpredict with my iEQ45Pro. I ran the source through astyle and I
think that it's OK. Compiling and testing was done under Unbuntu 18.

* Added new rotor module (18) for Meade telescope rotors
* Implemented all needed rotor functions
* Added README.md
* Tested with DS-2000 Rotor with Autostar 494 and 506 serial cable
* Tested on Linux (Debian) with rotctl and gpredict
Because some rigs lock their front panel when opened for CAT it is
helpful to call rig_close() in rigctld when no clients are
connected. This change does that.
A CTRL+C handler is also added to allow rig_close() to be called
during exit.
Remove execute bits for all test scripts and install them into
doc/examples.
Make sure check-py and check-tcl targets work.
Set a conditional for Python3 or Python2 and install/test the correct
script file.
Use Makefile variables instead of configure substitutions wherever
possible.
Generate tcltest.tcl at make time to insert installation library path
into the script so that tests pass.
Also reorder its call in configure.ac which now allows the PYTHON_VERSION
environment variable to be recognized and processed correctly by the
build system.
Correctly add PYTHON_LIBS (correct ouput variable of AX_PYTHON_DEVEL) to the
Makefile for the Python bindings.
Update README.python for use of PYTHON_VERSION.
Although there is no reasonable recovery from SIGPIPE we do not want
to terminate the server process, just the client servicing thread. We
do this by setting the disposition for SIGPIPE to ignored, this causes
an EPIPE to be returned from blocked write() and send() calls that end
up trying to send to a broken pipe/socket.
This option is obsolete since Apple gcc 3.0, by dropping support for
gcc 2.95.x we no longer have to pass this option. By not passing this
option we sidestep an issue for Mac OS X when a GNU gcc compiler is
used to build instead Apple gcc or clang.
Some distributions--Debian and Alpine tested--put libusb.h under the
libusb-1.0 directory. Test for its presence and if found define
HAVE_LIBUSB_1_0_LIBUSB_H. Also test for HAVE_LIBUSB or
HAVE_LIBUSB_1_0_LIBUSB_H and conditionally include the correct header
file in the sources.
While the Winradio G313 backend wasn't being compiled on a non-Linux
POSIX system, the register function in winradio.c was which caused an
error linking rigctl. Also, the host_os test in the configure script
now looks for a string containg "*linux-gnu*" which accepts such systems
as the Raspberry Pi which is defined as "linux-gnueabihf".
Thanks to Lorenzo Simoncello, IW3HER, for reporting this build error on
the Raspberry Pi.
Clean up various left over commented lines from dlopen to single
libhamlib transition. Remove unneeded configure variables.
Correct minor inconsistencies in Makefile.am files.
Define a new variable, READLINE_LIBS, so that only programs that offer
Readline support are linked against it.
Fix various compilation warnings and errors in test files revealed with
'make check' on MinGW.
Define rig and rotor backends to (mostly) be built in alphabetical
order.
Split G313 sources into POSIX and Windows versions and use Automake
conditionals for building on *linux-gnu or mingw*, pw32*, or cygwin
platforms.
Fixed dlopen issue on g313 backend which broke rigmatrix generation.

Use AC_CHECK_LIB macro to search for libusb rather than rely on
pkg-config. Preserve environment variables LIBUSB_CFLAGS and
LIBUSB_LIBS as user precious variables. Two features,
--with-xml-support and --enable-usrp still rely on pkg-config so only
invoke pkg-config when either or both of these features are selected.
Only the Winradio g313 model uses libdl so test for it only when
Winradio backend is enabled.
Use AC_SUBST variables for generating hamlib.pc based on local
configuration of Hamlib.
Rework libusb pkg-config section and set LIBUSB as an AC_SUBST variable.
With the new registration code set the HAVE_WINRADIO preprocessor
conditional if the winradio backend is to be built and test this
conditional in src/register.c whether to build winradio support.
No longer depend on libltdl from the libtool package. The
winradio/linradio/wg313api backend still depends on libdl, but since it
is only compiled on POSIX, it will use the POSIX supplied libdl.
Update documentation to remove references to libltdl.
Moved all backend *.h files into the SOURCES primary as Automake
documentation states all source file types should be listed. This
causes Automake to include *.h files in rebuild rules for the targets.
Removed the '-DIN_HAMLIB' assignment from the CFLAGS primary in each
backend and assigned it to AM_CPPFLAGS in configure.ac. The effect is
the same and it simplifies the backend Makefile.am files.
Removed all commented lines.
Use the system gettaddrinfo function when possible as before. Tested on
GNU, Cygwin, MinGW on Linux, and MinGW on Windows. Under MinGW the
replacement getaddrinfo is used. Perhaps this is an area for
investigation to be certain MinGW really doesn't supply getaddrinfo.
This reverts some of the patches from Remi Chateauneu in commit
60019c9. This fixes build issues encountered building the Windows
binary daily snapshots.
Enabled static library build by default at configure time.
Fixed pthread library linking for the ars backend on MinGW.
I have now written a new rotor control based on an Atmel ethernet board
and used with me. It works well so far.

The Automake manual makes it clear that certain user variables such as
CC, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and so on are to be preserved for the
user running configure. This patch cleans up such assignments and
assures that PTHREAD_CFLAGS and so forth are applied to those targets
that require it.
Trying to run the pthread enabled binaries on W2k resulted in an error
dialog with the text, "The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be
located in ws2_32.dll". A Microsoft support page
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955045) hints that when 'ws2tcpip.h' is
included that 'wspiapi.h' should be included as well. Since MinGw
includes both files, this patch corrects the runtime error on W2k
Android makefile fragments are distributed as extra distribution files
by the GNU build system but are otherwise ignored. The Android build
support is independent and does not rely on the GNU build system.
See android/README.android for more info.

Building libltdl recursively now eliminates the second 'configure' run
inside the libltdl directory and requires the distribution of fewer
files and quiets compilation.
Also, if the 'configure' option '--with-included-ltdl' is not passed and
a system libltdl is found, the included libltdl directory will not even
be built. Only when the included libltdl is needed will it be built.
Merge in initial draft of Hamlib manual written in texinfo.
Output in info, HTML, and PDF formats is supported and included
in distribution tarballs from now on.
