Summary: alloca.h not portable

Initial Comment:
The alloca.h header file is not portable, it doesn't exist e.g. on many BSDs or AIX.
I've changed the configure script to check for its existence and the users to check for the symbol before including alloca.h, or including malloc.h instead.
If Windows doesn't use the configure script, an "|| or defined(WIN32)" needs to be added at the end of the "defined(MALLOC_H)" lines.
