OK, done.  It builds for me, but there are some compiler warnings (which
I haven't looked at very closely).

I have one big question before going any further: what is the point of
automake?  I don't claim that my makefiles are great works of art, but
they work.  (Apart from the shared library business, that is.)  I'll go
see if I can find some automake docs that explain what it does and why
it's a good thing, but right now all I see is yet another layer of
complicated shell code added to the build process, and I don't like
that.
