pancake d41e40ba05 * Huge build system refactoring
- Make proper use of the config-user.mk
  - Accelerate build by manually checking timestamps of bin/lib to objs/srcs
  - Use '-MD' by default
  - Lot of minor fixups done in multiple places
  - Fix PREFIX/LIBDIR installation/loading problems for plugins
  - Some segfaults has been fixed
  - Use R_API in r_core and r_lib
* Add 'vm' to be build by libr by default
* Add 'libs.c' in core/ to manage plugins from core
  - Added 'dir.plugins'
  - Make '-e' and '-L' radare2 flags work
  - Plugins are not loaded multiple times now
* Added r_lib_types string array containing plugin types strings
* Minor fixups in r_debug
  - Properly check 'contsc' delegate
  - Separate r_debug_wait()
* Rename dbg-ptrace into dbg_ptrace

  Debugger API for radare2


We need to connect multiple pieces...

debugger engine: vm, qemu, bochs, ptrace, mach, w32dbg...

controlflow commands: (should be splitted in two layers)

 - continue -- low level
 - step     -- low level
 - trace   --- high level one
 - ...

 the control flow commands depend on other stuff to decide
 how to work..this is for example if the arch doesnt supports
 continuation, we should provide a step based continue. The
 same when a watchpoint is activated and the arch didnt
 supports hardware regs for this purpose.

We also need a load/store/dump/restore functions to move the
program from one engine to another (ptrace -> qemu).. we should
provide a way for all this operations between them.

[continue]
    |--- check if bp api allows us to continue or we should step into..
    |--- check if debug plugin supports continue

[getregs]
    |--- r_reg give us a list of registers
    |    - dr (show bitsize debug registers) // 32 by default
    |    - dr 32 (show 32 bit debug registers) // depends on size
    |    - dr eax (show 'eax' register value)
    |    - dr al  (show 8bit register 'al')
    |    - dr eax=33 (set 'eax' register value)
