[ODE] autoconf/automake

[Jens Thiele]

some thoughts what is left to do to add autoconf/automake in cvs:
TODO:
WHY THIS COULD NOT YET GO INTO CVS:
* originally make stuff breaks when using this patch !!
   why ?
   include/ode/config.h should be removed or in fact moved
   to ode/src (the patch makes it "empty")
   the autoconf version creates config/config.h which includes necessary
   defines - the original make system could do this too
   (for example on win just copy a handcrafted config.h and define 
HAVE_CONFIG_H,
    and add config to the include path)
* cygwin completely untested

OTHER "BUGS":
* if you use ./autogen && ./configure
   the original makefiles are overwritten - which is ugly when using cvs
* fbuild completely missing
   i think it is quite okay for now - it is just a possible performance 
improvement
   the original make system seems better suited for this
* if drawstuff is disabled, build tests which don't use it
   perhaps make 2 directories (gui tests - non gui tests)
   in the moment there are only gui tests ?
* timer functions
   i think gettimeofday on unix is nice

anything missing ?
