[ODE] Old makefile build system

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

The Enable problems should not be patched the way you did it, it seems I 
forgot about a thing regarding the change from with to enable,
enable uses the variable $enableval instead of $withval (which makes 
sence), I'll fix it right away.

As for the change in libraries, I will add checks for libXmu.a and 
libXi, those shoudnt pose a problem, but the path to /usr/X11R6/lib/
should be set in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable (unless of 
course there is an M4 macro to detect the X library path).

try adding:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to your ~/.bash_profile file.

Cheers!
