0.5.25:

This patch release follows several important enhancements in slibtool's
functionality, including proper support of explicit .a and .so input
arguments in link mode, and use of validly alternate (non-)pic objects.
With respect to compiler and target flavors, slibtool now accommodates
clang's debated approach towards the -fPIC switch in always-pic targets.
Last but not least, and following much discussion and consideration of
the various trade-offs, this release redefines _XOPEN_SOURCE to 700. With
that said, slibtool could still be easily built on older systems for as
long as they provide openat, faccessat, and (the soon-to-be-used) fexecve.

- driver: added --tag=RC support.
- driver: added --windres support.
- driver: use a compiler --target argument also as a tool argument.
- driver: if no --tag had been defined in compile mode, set --tag to CC.
- link mode: properly handle explicit archive input arguments.
- link mode: properly handle external archives and libraries.
- link mode: process dependencies also for non-pic .la args.
- link mode: support validly alternate (non-)pic objects.
- target flavors: accommodate conceptually challenged, PICky targets.
- target flavors: flavor detection: associate -windows- with mingw.
- target flavors: further eliminate compiler -dumpmachine invocations.
