initial commit of configure script
this script is not based on autoconf; however it attempts to follow
the same interface contracts for ease of integration with build
systems. it is also not necessary to use musl. manually written
config.mak files are still supported, as is building without any
config.mak at all as long as you are happy with the default options
and you supply at least ARCH on the command line to make.

+Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]... [BUILDTYPE]
+
+To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
+VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
+
+Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
+
+Installation directories:
+ --prefix=PREFIX main installation prefix [/usr/local/musl]
+ --exec-prefix=EPREFIX installation prefix for executable files [PREFIX]
+
+Fine tuning of the installation directories:
+ --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
+ --libdir=DIR library files for the linker [PREFIX/lib]
+ --includedir=DIR include files for the C compiler [PREFIX/include]
+ --syslibdir=DIR location for the dynamic linker [/lib]
+
+System types:
+ --target=TARGET configure to run on target TARGET [detected]
+ --build=BUILD same as --target
+
+Optional features:
+ --enable-debug build with debugging information [disabled]
+ --enable-warnings build with recommended warnings flags [disabled]
+ --enable-gcc-wrapper build musl-gcc toolchain wrapper [auto]
+ --disable-shared inhibit building shared library [enabled]
+ --disable-static inhibit building static library [enabled]
+
+Some influential environment variables:
+ CC C compiler command [detected]
+ CFLAGS C compiler flags [-Os -pipe ...]
+
+Use these variables to override the choices made by configure.
