Build script for Qpid/C++ devs

Hi devs,
    I am in the process of writing a build script for devs. With a 
script like that, you might not find it difficult to switch between 
different versions of prerequisites, deployment locations, etc. I am 
thinking of incorporating things like checking for required files (e.g. 
specs), etc with this script.

Thoughts please...

Hi Alan,
    I started with configure.ac and will get back to you if I need any help.

Our build script for devs is the traditional

  ./bootstrap && ./configure <blah> && make

so the best place for improved build scripting is in configure.ac and 
src/Makefile.am. There's plenty of room for improvement, I look forward to you 
contributions. Shout if you need any pointers, the info files on autoconf and 
automake are the best starting point I know of.

Cheers,
Alan.
