I was bored at work trying to get this to compile on Ubuntu and decided to switch it over to use autoconf.

To try these out, in a fresh checkout, unpack the attached tarball into the world directory.

You should then be able to do ./configure to generate the Makefile and then make

Advantages to using this is include better management of libraries -

* End user is notified if something is missing.
* Libray flags are auto generated just be editing the configure.ac file and running autoconf.
* User can specify the MySQL install location with --with-mysql=
* Arch dependencies could be handled later on with the #define/config.h system if so desired.

Awesome, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. As long as there isnt any problems I'll commit it to SVN. Good work
