Even if python version is 2.4.3 which is newer than the required
version 2.3, the configure script still raises a version issue. I
tested my patch with python 2.6.6 and 2.4.3. It will fix a syntax
error like the following.
checking for python version >= 2.3 ... Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
no
configure: error: Python 2.4.3 is too old, minimum required version is 2.3

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.
