[PATCH v2 1/7] Initialize and setup eppic

This patch contains routines which initialize eppic and register call
back function which will be called whenever a new eppic macro is loaded
using eppic_load() API. The registered call back function executes the
eppic macro as soon as it is loaded.

The -ltinfo is included in LIBS in the Makefile, because eppic
currently calls few functions in libtinfo and the compiler complains
about it, if not included. I think the paths where libeppic calls
libtinfo functions are not exercised by makedumpfile.

Including -ltinfo will increase the size of makedumpfile static
version

TODO:
	- Check out a way to get rid of -ltinfo
