Thank you for not using autoconf

I've just had a really pleasant experience cross compiling busybox for our
embedded PowerPC platform. It reminded me how you can point C compilers at
C source and get the right output. It even seemed to do something sensible
about libm (temporarily being) missing.

Thank you for making this work and please don't let anyone tell you to
start using GNU autoconf and friends. They're absolute crap for most
packages when cross building.
