I've just commited this into "staging":
* -lrt only for Solaris,
* -lpthread not for Darwin (-lc_r instead),
* try $M4, gm4 and m4, issue warning if -P doesn't work,
* -no-undefined for Cygwin/MinGW (but we still need to fix classpath)

To Etienne and David: could you please try these on *BSD and Darwin and
tune the settings if needed?
