[Plib-devel] [patch] Fix autoconf warnings and add svn:ignore

[Kevin Z. <kev...@gm...>]

Hi there,

Today I decided to start playing around with the plib sources to try to
get my joystick working correctly on my FreeBSD system. Whether I will
be successful or not is another discussion.

I got annoyed at the warning messages that autoconf was throwing at me
every time I regenerated the build system via `autogen.sh`, so I decided
that I should get rid of them. Attached is a patch of my results as a
svn-diff to the latest revision in the repository.

Here is a short summary of the changes made:
 - Rename "configure.in" to "configure.ac"
 - Split up AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE into AC_INIT and another AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
 - Add svn:ignore entries to each directory to ignore build system
 - Substitute all cases of "INCLUDES" in Makefile.am to "AM_CPPFLAGS"

These changes shouldn't be too drastic, would somebody please commit
this patch? Thanks!

Also, while I was doing my hacking, I realized that using version
control would be very helpful. Given that I'm not ready to commit stuff,
I still nevertheless want to plan out how to send stuff upstream once
I'm done. Ideally, I'd like to mess around with something like Git, but
if nobody has any objections I may just send in a bunch of patch files.
That's assuming I get somewhere, though.

Thanks,
Kevin Zheng
