The original idea was that the user would not need to have autoconf/automake
installed in order to get CGDB to build. They could just do ./configure
&& make. The good thing about that is the user does not have to go get
the versions of the tools we are using in order to get CGDB to build.
They only need that software in order to change the build system.

By removing those files, we would be complicating what the user has to
do in order to use CGDB.

What does everyone think the best way to go is?
