[Fedora-directory-devel] Please Review: (210736) Implement autotools build system (phase one)

Bug(s) fixed: 210736
Bug Description: We need to make the Directory Server build system use 
GNU Autoconf
    and GNU Automake.  The build system needs to support RHEL/FC 
systems, Solaris 9,
    and HP-UX IPF systems at a minimum for the first cut.  Other 
platform support
    can be added in as needed.

    Implementing the new build system is going to be done in multiple 
phases.  We
    need to leave the existing Makefiles around for a while until the 
new build
    system stabilizes.

Fix Description: The below bug attachments comprise the first phase of 
implementing
    the new build system.  There are a number of files generated by 
autoconf that
    will need to be checked in as well, but they are all generated from 
the above
    attachments.

    There are also some modifications to some existing code that are 
needed for the
    new build-system to work.  These changes are to modify buildnum.pl 
to just return
    the build number if the platform argument is not supplied. The new 
build system
    generated the build number at configure time and puts it in the 
generated Makefile
    instead of a buildnum.dat file.  Also, the include line for 
ldap-agent.h was
    formatted for a system header file.  This would cause the new build 
system to not
    locate it when compiling the SNMP subagent.

    The second phase will need to clean up some of the conditional 
defines as well
    as add configure options for things like an optimized build and 
64-bit.  All of
    this is possible with the current implementation by using CFLAGS, 
CXXFLAGS, etc.
    The second phase will also need to setup directories for doing a 
"make install".
Platforms tested: RHEL4, Solaris 9, HP-UX 11.23 IA64
