An error has been reported that the detection of PAPI did not
work correctly.

This release contains bugfixes for ELPA 2017.05.001

Debian/Ubuntus default "awk" is from 1996 and does not understand
negated character lists (such as every non-comma letter: [^,]). Let's
hope 1996 perl does.

This fixes issue #56

with obvious meaning

PGI has problems with elpa_int_value_to_string() where we return a
variable-length string pointer. A workaround for now is to copy the string into
a non-pointer variable of the same length.

This closes issue #55

- Remove all use of ELPA internal modules, the test programs now
  only use the public ELPA API. This is now enforced, by hiding the
  private modules

- Prefix all test internal modules with "test_" to make it really
  clear that these modules are not to be used by users.

The intention is that this release still provides the old interface
with only the new API functions as an addition. Thus, the libtool
'current' and 'age' fields are both incremented by 1.

For the RPM spec file this means that the 'so_version' macro still has
the value '8'

The legacy API is has been (internally) ported to use the new interface.
The intent is that users of the legacy API do not have to change their
codes.

Next step is to completely adapt the .gitlab-ci.yml file

It was previously not possible to disable this flag

Still missing is the compatibility layer, currently it only compiles
when configure is called with

  --disable-legacy

Also, a more general solution to parameter passing via environment
variables would be nice.

This reverts commit 64ec6ec2.

PGI's compiler wants

  -module

as the flag to specify the module output directory. Sadly, this is also
a libtool argument, resulting in much sorrow.

Thus, we have to escape -module by prefixing it with -Xcompiler. Sadly
libtool is not used everywhere by automake, thus we have to remove it
again in those cases were it would be passed to the compiler and cause
sorrow there.

Sad story. But with a happy ending?

Sometimes the compiler is used with the manual_cpp wrapper, do not
invoke this for linking
