Make it explicit that a variable is an array bu the name of the variable.
It will be used later when .config gets munged to allow both multiple
arguments and arguments with spaces at the same time to be passed from the
configuration down to the build scripts.

Move options around so it feels more organised.
Add comments to separate groups of related options.

So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.
Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.
Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.

Enabling plugins in binutils is not enough, and gcc also
needs to be ./configured with --enable-plugins, although
this is not documented anywhere... :-/

It makes sense to have all library-related config knobs in
the same place; and it makes sense to have all other misc
config knobs in the same other place.

While GMP and MPFR are required by gcc>=4.3 (to build the frontends),
and MPC is required by gcc>=4.5, the other libs are not. If they are
present then gcc will enable advanced features; if they are missing,
then gcc will (should) simply disable those features.

For some scenarii, libmudflap is not very usefull
or can break the build. Make in an optioon that
defaults to 'N' to be on the safe side.
For the core gcc-s, there is absolutely no need
to build libmidflap.
