[PATCH] autoconf: Use autoconf to write installation directories to config.mak

From: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com>

This is beginning of patch series introducing installation configuration using autoconf (and no other autotools) to git. The idea is to generate config.mak using ./configure (generated from configure.ac) from config.mak.in, so one can use autoconf as an _alternative_ to ordinary Makefile, and creating one's own config.mak.

This patch includes minimal configure.ac and config.mak.in, so one can set installation directories using ./configure script e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr

Ignoring files generated by running autoconf and ./configure

One of the ideas is to use in .spec RPM macro %configure which takes care of setting all installation directories correctly.

Thoughts?
