Build process

[Morten Eriksen <mortene@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

would you accept a _large_ patch to use the GNU Autoconf, Automake and
Libtool trio of tools for configuration and build (in the style of the
usual UNIX "configure; make install") instead of the current
Makefile-based process?

I'm about to start that task, but I thought I'd check with you first
if this is a good time for introducing changes of this magnitude to
the CVS repository.

Regards,
Morten
