[iptables PATCH] configure: display summary at end of configure

[iptables PATCH] configure: display summary at end of configure

[Eric Leblond]

This patch adds a message at the end of configure which displays
the different compilation options and system settings.

An example result is the following:

Iptables Configuration:
  IPv4 support:				yes
  IPv6 support:				yes
  Devel support:			yes
  IPQ support:				no
  Large file support:			yes

Build parameters:
  Static build:				no
  Shared build:				yes
  Installation prefix (--prefix):	/usr/local
  Xtables extension directory:		/usr/local/lib/xtables
  Pkg-config directory:			/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
  Kernel build directory:		/lib/modules/custom
  Host:					x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  GCC binary:				gcc

--enable-static/shared has a different meaning in iptables:

   Put plugins into executable:           ${enable_static}
   Support plugins via dlopen:            ${enable_shared}

What is "Devel" support exactly? Is this supposed to be "Development" 
support? If so, why not spell it in full - it is not as if you are 
constrained in any way and can't put a few extra characters, is it?

I recovered this patch and push it to master. I mangled it to fix a
conflict with the current tree and added the BPF utils to the display.
Thanks.
