[BusyBox] autoconf stuff

[Glenn McGrath]

I know this has been considered and rejected before, but the build
system is getting more complex since then, maybe its time to reconsider
?

Ive been reading up on autoconf and friends in the last couple of days,
im no expert, but from what i see the autoconf tools might be really
elegant solution if its done properly.

The one big drawback i think is that all the autotools add complexity
which if the developers dont understand it might get in the way,
especially if its not set up right. 

Im prepared to work in this direction if only for automating Hurd
compiles.

Does anyone whos good with the tools have a more valuable opinion on its
benefits as far as busybox goes ?
