David Anderson 940b561d3a Updated dwarfdump version string.
Updated all the configure scripts to support zlib and
reading compressed .zdebug_ DWARF sections.

All works fine without zlib (though reading .zdebug sections
not possible without zlib).

A few lines of code and some internal-to-libdwarf structs
change slightly for .zedebug support.  There is  no
change to public interfaces.

2015-11-26: If DWARF section data you intend to read
with libdwarf is compressed by zlib (a section name
like .zdebug_info indicates such compression) libdwarf etc
will need zlib's headers and archive or shared-library
at build and link time. If you do not have zlib
everything will compile fine and will work
on ordinary DWARF sections but libdwarf will not be
able to read .zdebug_ compressed sections.
zlib.h is the main zlib header and libz.a is the
most likely zlib library you will encounter.
2015-11-15: It is now possible to build
outside of the source tree. See README.
So configure.in changed a little.
2015-01-13: Removed dwarfdump2 and references to it.
dwarfdump has the (tsearch) features needed so the C++
version no longer a benefit.
