Are we going to ditch autotools entirely for the next release, or 
support both build systems?

I ask because there's currently a pretty nasty inconsistency -- various 
files still need to #include "config.h" to work with autotools, but 
scons doesn't update config.h, so we can end up with with symbols 
defined with different values in different places.  (I assume our scons 
setup has some logic to at least create config.h if it doesn't exist, 
otherwise these files would fail to build, but it doesn't ensure that 
it's correct if it does exist.)

For example, I just built a system with scons that was last built a 
while ago with make.  It had a different version number in config.h 
from the one in the scons configuration.  The result was a few warnings 
at compile time, and then a complete, apparently successful build that 
refused to run because it had the wrong version number.
