Gimage Library - autoconf building

I’m trying to break free of my homegrown build scheme, and so I’ve implemented an GNU autoconf configure script for gimage. Yes, that hurt my head. Anyway, I just finished testing it on a Raspberry Pi, and it seems to work. I tried to accommodate most gcc situations, including MinGW on Windows, as well as cross-compiling.

Yes, CMake was alluring, but it’s really amazing how that ball-of-M4-string that is autoconf abstracts a lot of silliness from a person that just wants to use the library. Sorry, no libtool, I’m still pushing gray matter back into my ear.

I put some, ha, simple instructions in the Readme.md; if any succeed in building from them, I’d be interested to hear.

If I find some free time, I will try and build it!
