Of course I had to run libtoolize too.  There may still be issues with
it, but it seems to be in usable state already.  I put the Debian
package available at http://users.utu.fi/~kaolpa/debian/.

I had to change a number of things in Q build process to make it
conform more to the Debian standards. 

It'd be a good idea to build the included libraries only
conditionally.  glob and regex are part of libc6, thus available on
linux systems universally.  ltdl and readline are commonly present
too.  Only ltdl was configurable to use the library present in the
system.

There's still a few things I could say about the build process, but
that'll have to wait for another time.  As well as packaging the
add-ons.
