Patch: autoconf/automake update

[Michael Koch]

Hi list,


I wrote a little patch to port our autoconf/automake system to more recent 
versions of these software. Automake 1.8 printed some new warnings (and still 
does but the remaining ones can be blamed to libtool. I heard libtool 1.6 
will fix them).

Please review and comment. Okay to commit ?

Next steps:

We have to simply rename configure.in to configure.ac. Then the transition 
will be done. configure.in is only supported by current autoconf for
autoconf <= 2.13 compatibility. The recommended filename is configure.ac.

We should think about removing files generated by libtool. These are 
config.guess, config.sub and ltmain. These can be created by simple executing 
"libtoolize --force" if needed (compilation from CVS, creating tarballs).
What do you think ?

        * HACKING: Updated autoconf and automake prerequisite descriptions.
        * acinclude.m4 (CLASSPATH_ENABLE_GJDOC): Use AS_HELP_STRING,
        fix quotation.
        * configure.in: Rewrote AC_ARG_ENABLE usage to use AC_HELP_STRING and
        to use a correct quotation. Use pkgconfig to search for glib, gtk and
        libart. Ported AC_OUTPUT() to new AC_CONFIG_FILES()/AC_OUTPUT.
