This deletes the hand rolled build system and replaces it entirely
with autotools. The overall diffstat shows that this is a clear
win, and it makes the package build/install like every other autotool
package out there which makes the lives of distro maintainers a lot
easier.
This should also be faster by virtue of using a non-recursive build.
Things to note:
- to generate autotools:
./autogen.sh
- to see full compile output:
make V=1
- to build specific targets:
make attr getfattr ...
- to run tests:
make check
- to create a release:
make distcheck -j
Other non-developer things:
- man pages are no longer compressed as this is uncommon in the
autotools world and distros don't need it anyways (they already
handle it automatically for most pakages)
- the minor # of the shared library is now based on the package
version so it'll be much bigger ... this isn't a problem, and
is actually a bugfix (older releases didn't change when they
should have)
(Again, this is all using the standard autotool targets.)
