[OPEN-ILS-DEV] SPAM: OpenSRF autotools patch

[Kevin Beswick]

Included is a patch for a working implementation of the GNU Autotools
to OpenSRF. Some of the perks of this system are: the user is given
the ability to install OpenSRF to non-standard locations,
dependency/library checking, gives a user the ability to only install
certain components, more portable to other operating systems, etc.
It was tested by myself, and Dan Scott on Ubuntu 7.10, CentOS 5,
Debian Etch , and configures, compiles, and installs correctly.

To test, simply run:
autogen.sh
configure
make
make install

Options for configure can be found using:
./configure --help

Also, the patch contains a new file, osrf_config, which is generated
by running the configure script. Running this file will print all
build options a user has chosen when compiling/installing Opensrf.
Command line arguments can be added to return each single build option
as well. This is useful to developers in that they are able to locate
a certain installation directory on a non standard installation of
OpenSRF. To see the available command line options, run : osrf_config
--help

The working autotools implementation for OpenILS should be submitted
within the next week.
