Instead of making irregular mega-commits, I think it's a better idea to
make small commits and push them as soon as you're sure they're okay.
This is a WIP branch; there is no guarantee for stability. If you commit
often more people have a chance to work on it.

Most users expect a configure script in a file called 'configure,' let's
keep it that way.

And attached is a patch to fix it on FreeBSD, which generates an extra
'aclocal.m4' file.

Most of the projects I've seen use autotools keep the macros in a folder
called 'm4' (the default) or 'macros'. Personally, I see no reason to
hide them in a hidden folder.

On another side note, I'm interested in giving CMake a serious try
(meaning, do actual checks instead of just doing a build file). If
anyone is interested I can set up a public fork of the repo and do my
work there.
