Dmitry Shachnev 5da7e37a06 Makefile fixes and cleanups
- Distinguish between CC/CFLAGS, CPP/CPPFLAGS and CXX/CXXFLAGS.
  Do not store compiler flags in CPPFLAGS, which is for preprocessor,
  and do not try to link files using a preprocessor.
- Use COMMON_FLAGS for flags that are for both C and C++.
- Drop -m64 flag which is wrong on 32-bit systems.
- Use $(MAKE) instead of make, so that parallel building works.

brotli

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
