* ALL: started the slow move to automake. For the moment, the changes are

    unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
    gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
    you don't run Linux.

    The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
    automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
    old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)
