A long, long time ago, a bug was inadvertently introduced into the threaded
metar fetcher. Effectively this caused the metar thread and the main
thread to both attempt to fetch weather data. This could lead to long pauses
when the main thread decided to fetch the weather, and introduced a race
condition that could cause a segfault/crash.
Investigating this issue, I discovered that even longer ago, someone confused
#defines and #ifdef symbols with C/C++ variables. If I #define XYZ 0 it is
defined so #ifdef XYZ is true, not false like a variable. Our thread
detection made this mistake and there were follow up patches to work around
it.
So I fixed the configure script (ahhh, reading the autoconf manual is highly
recommended excercise for people editing the configure.ac file.) I also
discovered that we were hardwiring with_threads=yes with no way via configure
options to disable threads from the build so I fixed that.
Then I patched up the #ifdef's scattered through the code to match the
configure script changes, oh and by the way, I stumbled upon a past typo
that led to the race condition in the metar fetching thread and fixed that.

"info -f autoconf" is a beautiful thing. Fixed the configure script so
we can actually configure the project without threads. Previously threads
were always forced on no matter what configuration options were passed in.

Prevent download of thousands of METAR reports if all are for some reason
too old (wrong system time or broken proxy): stops after 10 stale reports
were fetched in a row. This should simply stop further fetching, but due
to a bug in the threading system(?) it does currently lead to abortion,
just like any other exception in the fetcher.

This is an ugly fix for an ugly problem. And no, the two uglies don't cancel
each other out. The problem is this: if we press, for example, "Ctrl-a", but
release the "Ctrl" modifier button *before* the "a" button (which nobody does
intentionally, but which happens all the time), then we don't get the RELEASE
signal on "Ctrl-a" (keycode 1), but on the "a" (79). But "a" hasn't been
pressed, so the signal is dropped. And who releases "Ctrl-a"? Nobody!
So the next PRESSED signal for "Ctrl-a" is ignored, too. It is still
"pressed" after all, isn't it? That's the reason for the occasional
non-functioning of keys.
Due to the nearing 0.9.9 release, I only commit a crude last-minute fix.
It's not as intrusive as it looks, and shouldn't be "dangerous" at all.
It only makes sure that when we get an unexpected RELEASE for one letter
key ("a") that the two twins "A" and "Ctrl-A" are released if they are
still in "pressed" state.
The proper fix will be to let fg_os{,_sdl}.cxx always report presses on the
same key ("a", "Shift-a", "Ctrl-a", "Alt-a", and other combinations of
modifiers) as the *same* key (97), only with modifiers appropriately set.

Architectural fix allowing the "tip" popups (FOV, view name, etc...)
to pop themselves down while the simulator is paused.
The problem was with the "real time" queue in the event manager,
causing the third argument of Nasal's settimer() (a flag for "sim
time") to be ignored. Inverts the default sense of the argument, as
there are lots of uses of settimer() in the current code, almost none
of which want to use real time.
Note this fix introduces a header file incompatibility in SimGear --
be sure to update.

Vivian reported that the caster angle of the Hunter was experiencing
"jitter" when the aircraft was stopped. This is a fundamental
characteristic of the gear model, and can't be fixed without major
surgery (and not a small amount of blinding insight). But we can at
least clamp it so the value can't change unless the wheel is moving
with a nontrivial velocity (5cm/sec in this case).

In the process of changing, adding and removing files the last few years
there was the situation where four directories contained jst two files,
of which three directories were aircraft related, and one directory contained
test code from Curt that might be better of in SimGear anyhow.
This is just a patch to move a bunch of files to new locations. In case of
local changes to any of them you can do the following:
move replay.[ch]xx from src/Replay to src/Aircraft
move control.[ch]xx from src/Control to src/Aircraft
move ssgEntityArray.[ch]xx from src/Objects to simgear/screen
In addition it has been decided only to use .[ch]xx files in all directories
unless it's contained within an FDM specific directory, in which case the
author is free to do whatever (s)he wants.
In this repspect the following files have been renamed in src/Multiplayer:
tiny_xdr.[ch]pp has become tiny_xdr.[ch]xx
multiplaymgr.[ch]pp has become multiplaymgr.[ch]xx
