[PATCH v2 00/17] Convert the autoconf build system to non-recursive make

[Stefano Lattarini]

Basically, this series is the same as v1 (RFC), but with commit messages
more respecting of the GNU Coding Standards, and extended with a follow-up
patch (the last one) that removes the two usages of the obsolescent
'mkinstalldirs' script and variable.

"make check" and "make distcheck" still passes, both when bootstrapped
with Automake 1.11.6 and with Automake 1.13.1.  The series should be
good to apply, albeit more testing (especially on systems != GNU/Linux)
would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
  Stefano
