92c4ea38c9 build: use CPPFLAGS
-D and -I are preprocessor flags, so should preferably be in the
appropriate variable.

a7958f7eef Support custom build directories
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory.  The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.

For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently.  This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.

Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution.  When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.

wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/spl/spl-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf spl-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd spl-x-y-z

------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system>  <fedora system>  <debian system>  <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu     mkdir fedora     mkdir debian     mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu        cd fedora        cd debian        cd rhel6
../configure     ../configure     ../configure     ../configure
make             make             make             make
make check       make check       make check       make check

This is something the project has almost supported for a long time
but finishing this support should save me lots of time.

c950d1480d Only make compiler warnings fatal with --enable-debug
While in theory I like the idea of compiler warnings always being
fatal.  In practice this causes problems when small harmless errors
cause build failures for end users.  To handle this I've updated
the build system such that -Werror is only used when --enable-debug
is passed to configure.  This is how I always build when developing
so I'll catch all build warnings and end users will not get stuck
by minor issues.

716154c592 Public Release Prep
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files.  Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.

8934764e60 Add support for 'make -s' silent builds
The cleanest way to do this is to set AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --silent.  However,
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS is not honored by automake-1.9.6-2.1 which is what I have
been using.  To cleanly handle this I am updating to automake-1.11-3 which
is why it looks like there is a lot of churn in the Makefiles.

16b719f006 Allow spl_config.h to be included by dependant packages (updated)
We need dependent packages to be able to include spl_config.h to
build properly.  This was partially solved in commit 0cbaeb1 by using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed.  This solution
works as long as the spl_config.h is included before your projects
config.h.  That turns out to be easier said than done.  In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.

To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command.  This command runs
immediately after spl_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file.  This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.

Also in this change I have removed the few places in the code where
spl_config.h is included.  It is now added to the gcc compile line
to ensure the config results are always available.

Finally, I have also disabled the verbose kernel builds.  If you
want them back you can always build with 'make V=1'.  Since things
are working now they don't need to be on by default.
