[Gnash-dev] Large-scale Makefile.am cleanup

[Andrew Guertin]

Over the past few days I've been doing some work on cleaning up gnash's 
Makefile.ams. The end goal that I'd like to reach is to transition to 
non-recursive automake.

There's a lot of cleanup that needs to happen before that, though. The current 
Makefile.ams aren't clean enough to simply copy and paste the dependency lists 
into a non-recursive system.

The major cleanups to do in advance are, from what I've looked at so far, are 
listing header files in _SOURCES variables, making coding style consistent, and 
determining what headers and libraries actually need to be installed.

I've attached a preview of the work I've done so far. This work is not ready for 
checkin: it's only been tested on my one machine but it touches build process 
used by operating systems and features I don't use. Also, it would create 
inconsistent style between directories.

I'm interested in review, to know what people think of the major themes of the 
cleanup, comments on individual changes, and reports of whether I've broken 
things on systems I can't test.

So what do people think?
