* Add a new config file option RESOLVE_IDS_TO_NAMES to control whether we try to
resolve uid/gid values to user & group names. Static binaries are known to segfault when
doing this given certain nsswitch.conf setups (particularly LDAP/AD), so setting this
to false bypasses name resolution and just displays the numeric uid/gid.
* Add a new optional --key-size argument to twadmin --generate-keys mode, with available
sizes of 1024 or 2048 bits. Previously twadmin always created 1024-bit El Gamal keys,
and this remains the default if --key-size is not specified, at least for the time being.
* Fix a compilation issue with C++11 and -Werror=terminate.
* Move build files to automake 1.15, and make a few build system fixes: "make dist" now
works properly, cross-compiled binaries can now compile with OpenSSL if available, and
specifying a build directory outside the source dir now works as expected.
* Assorted platform tweaks: Add DOS/FreeDOS + DJGPP as a new platform; support Cygwin
//host/share/path syntax for UNC paths; passphrase & tempfile fixes for AROS.
