Thanks @codutti and @evjan for opening pull requests to improve mbpfan! Also @gaul joined the development team.

Refactored, made stronger, and cleaner. Perhaps lighter on battery.

This maintenance release contains quite some PR.
Credits for them all go to @gaul, @sasanj, and @DougBeney.

• String creation (for file paths) is now leaner, cleaner, and more valgrind friendly (#131, @gaul)
• Fans' and sensors' devices are not opened only once (#126, @gaul); static strings are not free'ed anymore (#128, @gaul)
• No more attempts to catch an uncatchable SIGSTOP (#125, @gaul), but SIGQUIT is now caught (#129, @gaul)
• mbpfan correctly states the kernel version when adopting the old or new way of looking for sensors (#124, @gaul) and uses a less confusing conditional (#127, @gaul)
• Got yet another cleanup of my Makefile (I get it, I am not good at them ;-) (#135, @sasanj)
• mbpfan is now less verbose when used with Systemd (#135, @sasanj)
• Forgot to credit Kristensson's great ANSI C Application Settings Managment (#135, @sasanj)
• Got yet another cleanup of my Makefile (I get it, I am not good at them ;-) (#135, @sasanj)
• README file now has a table of contents, is more concise (#134, DougBeney) and was proofread maniacally (@gaul #123)

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Just joking. mbpfan v2.0.1 contains minor improvements to the codebase and the makefile. In particular:

• Makefile now supports correctly the -j flag (you happy now, Gentoo users?). Credits @gktrk
• Use of macros is now protected thanks to lots of round brackets. Credits @Ndolam
• The function for checking mbpfan requirements made use of unnecessary system calls to execute code. Deleted them while keeping functionality. Credits @Ndolam
