If SIGUSR1 is not defined, skip the code that registers handler for TokenTimer (so yes, it is not fully functional on a system without SIGUSR1).

Make add_library use default setting which is set to SHARED libs for anything but WIN32. WIN32 libs are going to be STATIC until external API is specifically defined (Windows' DLLs export nothing by default, UNIX shared libs export everything)

implement get_pos_value_mask and get_pos_required_mask
use int for *_count to avoid signed/unsigned errors
handel missing required attributes partially, add a todo
