2e91b29580 [qfcc] Start work on implementing geometric algebra
This gets only some very basics working:
 * Algebra (multi-vector) types: eg @algebra(float(3,0,1)).
 * Algebra scopes (using either the above or @algebra(TYPE_NAME) where
   the above was used in a typedef.
 * Basis blades (eg, e12) done via procedural symbols that evaluate to
   suitable constants based on the basis group for the blade.
 * Addition and subtraction of multi-vectors (only partially tested).
 * Assignment of sub-algebra multi-vectors to full-algebra multi-vectors
   (missing elements zeroed).

There's still much work to be done, but I thought it time to get
something into git.

27ccad40c9 [qfcc] Split out the conversion evaluation code
This takes care of the FIXME regarding breaking it out for more general
use (the time has come to redo constant folding).

b668759b7d [qfcc] Add a very basic attribute system
Ruamoko passes va_list (@args) through the ... parameter (as such), but
IMP uses ... to defeat parameter type and count checking and doesn't
want va_list. While possibly not the best solution, adding a no_va_list
flag to function types and skipping ex_args entirely does take care of
the problem without hard-coding anything specific to IMP.

The system currently just sets some bits in the type specifier (the
attribute list should probably be carried around with the specifier),
but it gets the job done for now, and at least gets things started.

6d5ffa9f8e [build] Move to non-recursive make
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.

The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.

Most of the old Makefile.am files  are now Makemodule.am.  This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases).  The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a

The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.

While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
