Rework build system v2 (#71)
* Remove non-POSIX extensions and commands
* Drop autodetection in favor of OPT_DEP_DEFAULT
* Use += for LDLIBS as some BSD distros need to add extra flags
* Change DOCPREFIX -> EGPREFIX
* Use ?= for MANPREFIX and EGPREFIX
* Update docs
With this, we should have a stable build system. No further significant
changes should be needed.
