CAT protocols that don't allow direct addressing of VFOs require that
the "other" VFO be queried or set via a select then get/set then
select back to original or swap then get/set then swap again. When
both frequncy and mode need to be set the sequences can be optimized
if a single funciton is avaiable.
This enhancement adds those single functions rig_set_split_freq_mode()
and rig_get_split_freq_mode() with a default impelementation that
calls the individual rig_{get,set}_split_{freq,mode}() functions. Back
ends can choose to implement an optimized version which is used
instead of the default if present.
Using these functions when an optimized implementation is available
allows the TX VFO's frequency and mode to be set in a single operation
with only one VFO exchange or selection either side of the
operation. Many CAT protocols are very efficient when getting or
setting both frequency and mode and some even combine the two in a
single command.
The letters 'K' and 'k' are used for the rigctl short command name for
these functions.
Richard Sahw, KF5OIM, reported a failure in the C++ test when attempting
to build an RPM package in a clean environment. This patch amends the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the generated shell scripts in the c++ and tests
directories.
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.
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for testcpp and testrig in the generated test
shell scripts corrects a long-standing bug that broke 'make check'.
Add Hamlib_design.eps to allow 'make dvi' to succeed when running
'make distcheck'.
Use the libtool link mode argument '-version-info' to set the Hamlib 3
ABI to be compatible with Hamlib 1.2 ABI. As the current ABI has not
been changed or removed, we should be able to maintain backward
compatibility. The libtool docs state that so long as the ABI is only
added to, backward compatibility should be maintained.
My idea here is to be able to have presently compiled programs be able
to use binary libraries of Hamlib 3 without recompiling. So far I have
tested this locally on Linux and Windows. More testing is welcome.
to set_split_vfo/get_split_vfo, and take an extra transmit vfo arg.
Ascending compatibility is retained at the API frontend level.
NOTE: only function name has changed. The backends do not implement
necessarily the new semantic (the extra tx vfo is just ignored).

- rig_set_channel and rig_get_channel can now target VFO, besides memories
- emulation of set_channel and get_channel has been kept in generic routines.
Added in these routines the support for ext_levels.
