The last PhysFS 1 release was in March 2009. The last PhysFS 2 release
was in August 2017, shortly before the release of PhysFS 3 in September
2017. Most distributions have moved to PhysFS 3. Drop support for
PhysFS 1 and PhysFS 2. PhysFS 2 support could be restored if there is
interest.
Rebirth built with OpenGL has a hard dependency on the GL utility
library, but did not have a configure time test to report this. Add
one.

Add an inclusion of <SDL.h> since, for Windows targets, this triggers a
chain of includes that leads to <intrin.h>, which causes
-Wredundant-decls to print a diagnostic. This allows Windows targets to
declare -Wredundant-decls as unusable, while enabling it for non-Windows
targets.
This adds a new dependency, but most systems likely already have
SDL_image installed. Use of SDL_image can be disabled, but this is
discouraged, because various in-game interfaces assume the use of the
original background.
The old implementation automatically corrected for filename case. The
new implementation expects that the supplied filename can be passed to
PYHSFS_openRead as-is. All known uses in-game have been corrected to
satisfy this requirement. If the new stricter match requirement becomes
a problem, a variant of PHYSFSRWOPS_openRead that adjusts filename case
could be created for use here.

The existing test for gcc pr #82541 was insufficient, and allowed using
-Wduplicated-branches with gcc-7 in some cases it should not. Extend
the test to cover these cases.
mmontag reported that the OS X linker warns when attempting to search a
framework directory that does not exist. Suppress this warning by
checking for the directory and not adding it to the search path if it
does not exist.

The minimum supported compiler versions now provide a depth-efficient
implementation of std::make_index_sequence, which removes the last
reason to carry a private implementation. In the case of clang, it
appears to have a special compiler intrinsic used to implement its
std::make_index_sequence.
Switch to the compiler-provided version for both gcc and clang.
gcc-4.9 support is now difficult to test due to system libraries linking
to newer symbols. gcc-4.9 is unsupported upstream, as are gcc-5 and
gcc-6. Raise the minimum required gcc version to the minimum version
supported upstream.
Debian Jessie shipped gcc-4.9.2, and support for this target was the
primary motivator for retaining gcc-4.9 support. Jessie ended regular
support in June 2018, and will end Long Term Support in June 2020. It
seems unlikely that Jessie would receive a snapshot build of Rebirth in
the months it has left.
Debian Stretch shipped gcc-6, but is currently considered "oldstable"
and has been superseded by Debian Buster. Further, Debian Stretch
provides a package for gcc-7, so Stretch users can still build Rebirth
using only packages available from the package manager.
In exported archives, the commit will be
`archive-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` for some hexadecimal
characters `x`. `-` is not valid in a C identifier, but the commit
needs to be a valid C identifier. Change `-` to `_` so that it will be
valid.

Python 2 byte sequences look best when not decoded. Python 3 byte
sequences look best when decoded. As Python 2 is near end of life and
most distributions have moved on to Python 3, switch to the style that
looks better in Python 3. The code still runs in Python 2, but produces
a u'' wrapper around the text because the type is `unicode` in Python 2,
but `str` in Python 3. This change eliminates the b'' wrapper around
the text in Python 3.
Extended identifiers have proved to cause more problems than they solve.
Switch to base32 which, while less commonly supported, is available in
Python and uses an alphabet that is almost a subset of the C identifier
alphabet. Padding characters are still a problem, but can be remapped
to a valid C identifier that is not a valid base32 character.
Special macros are used to pass information to
`generate-kconfig-udlr.py`. Provide default definitions for these
macros in `kconfig.ui-table.cpp`, and override them in the one build
where they need to be special. This enables `kconfig.ui-table.cpp` to
build cleanly when invoked from the command line in the compilation
database.
Inserting the compile command for vers_id.cpp into a compilation
database does not quote a string with embedded whitespace, although this
string is correctly quoted when used to invoke a shell. Remove
whitespace from the character whitelist, so that it is always escaped.
This change was proposed by an external user as a claimed fix for a
failure to build. This change has not been tested by the core team.
However, it is a simple change and at worst will break the build.
The change is based in part on advice from recurring contributor
@MaddTheSane. Neither @MaddTheSane nor @kreatordxx have commented on
the correctness of these changes, though the original author of the
commit, @Sottises, is listed as the origin of the most recent prebuilt
OS X package offered from
