Google test does not recommend distributing precomiled libraries. See:

http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog

The Debian libgtest-dev package no longer has shared libraries, and soon will
lose static libraries too. The Ubuntu libgtest-dev package already has removed
all libraries.

This patch series reworks the build, install, and usage of xorg-gtest. The most
important change is the last commit, which distributes an aclocal macro and a
Makefile-xorg-gtest.am file for inclusion in projects using xorg-gtest. The
mechanism I chose for inclusion of Makefile-xorg-gtest.am is non-standard, but
it was the best option I could think of.

I have incorporated the changes into utouch-grail as a test to show that the new
mechanisms work properly. For reference, the changes may be found at:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chasedouglas/utouch-grail/gtest-source/revision/197

I hopefully have Cc'd everyone I know who is using xorg-gtest currently. When
this is merged, I will start adding tests to the X server.

Thanks!
