[PATCH] Add a custom ./configure script

[PATCH] Add a custom ./configure script

[Petr Baudis]

This patch adds a custom hand-made and supposedly easy to debug ./configure
script. It is originally based on mplayer's ./configure script but heavily
modified and of course stripped of all the mplayer-specific tests, as well
as many other tests we won't probably need (but we might reintroduce some
of them later). I kept the CPU checks since they might come handy to decide
which assembler SHA1 implementation to choose.

Also, I'm an autogeneration freak so compared to the mplayer's script
this one has a bit different design wrt. the configuration variables; instead
of adding random bits of code at various places you just insert one function
call near the top and your test near the bottom, everything else is taken
care of automagically. Also, the heavy machinery is split to a separate library
config-lib.sh.

It's a shame that we have to carry something like this around. Wouldn't the
world be much happier place if there would be something like autoconf but
instead of mucking with M4 you would just write a shell script while calling
various predefined functions? :/

The patch is on top of pu, that is Jakub Narebski's autoconf patch, because
it reuses most of its infrastructure and just replaces the configure script.

[PATCH] Add a custom ./configure script

[Petr Baudis]

This patch adds a custom hand-made and supposedly easy to debug ./configure
script. It is originally based on mplayer's ./configure script but heavily
modified and of course stripped of all the mplayer-specific tests, as well
as many other tests we won't probably need (but we might reintroduce some
of them later). I kept the CPU checks since they might come handy to decide
which assembler SHA1 implementation to choose.

Also, I'm an autogeneration freak so compared to the mplayer's script
this one has a bit different design wrt. the configuration variables; instead
of adding random bits of code at various places you just insert one function
call near the top and your test near the bottom, everything else is taken
care of automagically. Also, the heavy machinery is split to a separate library
config-lib.sh.

It's a shame that we have to carry something like this around. Wouldn't the
world be much happier place if there would be something like autoconf but
instead of mucking with M4 you would just write a shell script while calling
various predefined functions? :/

The patch is on top of pu, that is Jakub Narebski's autoconf patch, because
it reuses most of its infrastructure and just replaces the configure script.

If you named it for example configure.sh, then autoconf generated version, 
and your by hand created version could coexist.

For now I think it would be best to move autoconf related files (configure.ac,
config.mak.in) to the contrib/autoconf/ area. Then one would be able to 
compare config.mak.autogen generated by ./configure from autoconf, and
your ./configure script.

I'm not opposed to it per se, but I'm just not sure if it makes any
sense to support them both in parallel, since then you have parallel
infrastructure doing the exactly same thing, or worse yet - performing
a subtly different set of tests. The benefit is unclear to me.

Another thing is that it's named *everywhere* ./configure and if I use a
different name now then it will be hard to rename.

The benefit is on user side: he'll take what works for him, without waiting
for you or Jakub to fix it for him.

but it not the same configure as "everywhere". It's your very own script.

That said, I like your script better than the autoconf thing.
