Roger Pau Monne 192c0b406d build: autoconf: fix libdir detection
If user specifies a libdir it is used, if no libdir is specified
configure checks if $exec_prefix/lib64 is a directory and uses that,
if not lib is used.

$prefix is set by passing the command line option or by default when
calling AC_OUTPUT, but since AC_OUTPUT is called at the end, this is
not really helpful, so we have to set $exec_prefix manually to the
correct value, either $prefix if different than NONE or
$ac_default_prefix.

Ian Jackson 85896a7c4d build: add autoconf to replace custom checks in tools/check
Added autotools magic to replace custom check scripts. The previous
checks have been ported to autoconf, and some additional ones have
been added (plus the suggestions from running autoscan). Two files are
created as a result from executing configure script, config/Tools.mk
and config.h.

conf/Tools.mk is included by tools/Rules.mk, and contains most of the
options previously defined in .config, that can now be set passing
parameters or defining environment variables when executing configure
script.

config.h is only used by libxl/xl to detect yajl_version.h.

[ tools/config.sub and config.guess copied from
  autotools-dev 20100122.1 from Debian squeeze i386,
  which is GPLv2.

  tools/configure generated using the included ./autogen.sh
  which ran autoconf 2.67-2 from Debian squeeze i386.  autoconf
  is GPLv3+ but has a special exception for the autoconf output;
  this exception applies to us and exempts us from complying
  with GPLv3+ for configure, which is good as Xen is GPL2 only.
