It was emacs missing in subdirs list in debugger/Makefile.am

I set it to 2.53 in both places as it seemed as the most sensible thing to do.

It's now commited, with a log comment which (unfortunately) lacks all kind of 
formatting since i managed to loose the linefeeds in it. So here it is in all 
it's glory, or at least - with - linefeeds: 

Mikael fixed: 
	* removed deprecated Autoconf constructs 
	* bootstrap.sh execution order and include location 
	* install into pkgdatadir instead of libdir 
	* use AC_SUBST to configure all paths instead of hardcoding 
And added: 
	* configurable package name using env. var. ALT_PACKAGE_NAME 
	* configurable executable names 
	* dbg-main.inc is genereated from dbg-main.inc.in now 
	* local m4 macros now reside in acinclude.m4
