Update to use gnulib, and newer autoconf, automake conventions.

	Add build-from-checkout instructions.
	* README-hacking: New file.  Mostly copied from coreutils'
	README-cvs.
	* bootstrap: Generate ChangeLog here, if needed/possible,
	before invoking tools that require its presence.
	* autogen.sh: Remove this file.  It's superseded by bootstrap.

	Use gnulib, modernize some uses of autoconf, automake, etc.
	* bootstrap, bootstrap.conf: New files.

	* configure.ac: Modernize.
	Require the latest stable releases: autoconf-2.61, automake-1.10.
	Require gettext-0.15.
	Use more modern form of AC_INIT, etc.
	Now that the version string must be hard-coded in the AC_INIT line,
	add code to ensure it agrees with the PED_* and LT_* variables.
	Use AM_CPPFLAGS, not CFLAGS
	Remove obsolete setting of ALL_LINGUAS.
	Don't set CFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 explicitly , since that's already
	done via AC_GNU_SOURCE, which gnulib pulls in by default,
	through gl_EARLY.
	Use gl_INIT and gl_EARLY.

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add lib.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Remove names that are automatically included.
	* lib/Makefile.am: New file.

+
+These notes intend to help people working on the checked-out sources.
+These requirements do not apply when building from a distribution tarball.
+
+* Requirements
+
+Only the sources are installed in the GIT repository (to ease the
+maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest
+stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
+
+- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
+- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
+- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
+- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
+- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
+- Libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/>
+- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
+- Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
+
+As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
+suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
+
+Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
+Valgrind supports your architecture.
+
+Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful.
+Later, a plain `git-pull && make' should be sufficient.
+
+* First GIT checkout
+
+Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
+this package from GIT.  The next step is to get other files needed to
+build, which are extracted from other source packages:
+
+	$ ./bootstrap
+
+And there you are!  Just
+
+	$ ./configure
+	$ make
+	$ make check
+
+At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
+and the GIT master copy:
+
+	$ git-diff
+
+should output no difference.
+
+Enjoy!
