originally suggested by Ralf Wildenhues, to try to speed autogen, configure,
and make (and possibly even make install). Use automake's include directive
to drastically reduce the number of Makefile files (although the number of
Makefile.am files is the same - most are just included in a top-level
Makefile.am). Also use an Automake SUBDIRs feature to eliminate the
dynamic-mca tree, which was no longer really needed. This makes adding
a framework easier (since you don't have to remember the dynamic-mca
tree) and makes building faster (as make doesn't have to recurse through
the dynamic-mca tree)

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, instead of the deprecated version.
* Work around dumbness in modern AC_INIT that requires the version
number to be set at autoconf time (instead of at configure time, as
it was before). Set the version number, minus the subversion r number,
at autoconf time. Override the internal variables to include the r
number (if needed) at configure time. Basically, the right thing
should always happen. The only place it might not is the version
reported as part of configure --help will not have an r number.
* Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE taks a list of options, no need to specify
them in all the Makefile.am files.
* Addes support for subdir-objects, meaning that object files are put
in the directory containing source files, even if the Makefile.am is
in another directory. This should start making it feasible to
reduce the number of Makefile.am files we have in the tree, which
will greatly reduce the time to run autogen and configure.

callbacks to be triggered when memory is about to leave the current
process. The system is designed to allow a variety of interfaces,
hopefully including whole-sale replacement of the memory manager,
ld preload tricks, and hooks into the system memory manager. Since
some of these may or may not be available at runtime and we won't know
until runtime, there is a query funtion to look for availability of
such a setup.
* Added ptmalloc2 memory manager replacement code. Not turned on by
default, can be enabled with --with-memory-manager=ptmalloc2.
Only tested on Linux, not even compiled elsewhere. Do not use
on OS X, or you will never see your process again.
* Added AM_CONDITIONAL for threads test to support ptmalloc2's build
system
