Re: Autotools update.

It works, I know, I wrote the original files ;).

However there are lots of hacks, some necessary (IE: the libfast helper 
lib),
and a lot more unnecessary (the soname configure flag, the hardcoded 
-fPIC and -shared flags,
pollution of LIBS and CFLAGS and relatives enviroment variables, and 
some others), the unnecessary ones
are the ones I want to prune.

definitely No CMake, we have Premake and Premake's Author on our team ;)

Cheers!
