- uses automake to generate most of the Makefile.in
- renamed configure.in to configure.ac per autoconf
- Versioning is optional now with a configure option
- reworked the init scripts for versioning or not
- eliminated acconfig.h and put templates in configure.ac
- make install now honors the DESTDIR variable for package builds
- honors bindir for modulecmd location
(but the init scripts are only correct if no versioning)
* Collected the usage info and now it can be displayed with
the --help or -H option (same as help)
* --version now gives most of the optional configure parameters
for easy debugging of problems
* Fixed bootstrap to just source the appropriate init script
fly, as it were. It's a powerful mechanism for dynamically changing
environment variables, aliases, X11 resources, etc.
It uses an embedded Tcl intrepretor, with a few extensions. Therefore,
it has a well defined language syntax.
