Unfortunately this patch is hard to split up into smaller chunks. Our build
system and the associated automake/autoconf/libtool macros has been left
untouched for a while, and could use a refresher.
* Upgrade ltmain.sh to the latest version
* Move away from a huge acinclude.m4 directory to using individual files in
the m4/ subdirectory, suggested by upstream automake documentation
* Update all macros to their latest available version
* Adjust Makefile.am and autogen.sh to accommodate m4/ subdirectory
Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
* Greatly simplify and de-obfuscate the autogen and autoclean code.
* Add a bunch of the autotools required files to the repository. This
will give us consistency (a novel idea) across all builds, and allow
for much more recent versions of config.guess and config.sub to be used.
