[avrdude-dev] patch to convert to autoconf

[Theodore A. Roth]

Hi,

Forget about renaming avrdude.conf.sample, I found a simple
work-around.

Here's my first cut at the autoconf conversion and a few notes for the
daring:

- run the bootstrap script (might need to chmod 755). Note the hard
coding of the versions for now.

- The AUTHORS, NEWS, ChangeLog, INSTALL and README are required by the
autoconf system.

- mkdir obj; cd obj; ../configure --prefix=$HOME/local/avrdude-test
I suggest the above or you will clobber the existing Makefile.

- make all install uninstall dist
All of the above worked for me.

- successfully built with both bison and byacc.

- Normally, autoconf builds a config.h file. Brian already used that,
so I decided on ac_cfg.h (note that all .c files include it. if I
missed one, let me know)

- y.tab.h is gone. autoconf automagically creates config_gram.[ch].


There's still a lot to do (like using all that stuff in ac_cfg.h ;-),
but this should get us started.

Comments?
