Major improvement in the autotools: now the DEST option is gone, all is done automatically. Please do ./configure --help in order to see the new options (mostly installation directory and cpu flag if you need to specify it manually).

Please notice that the configure script is now versionned. This is not 100% needed, but it should make life easier for normal users checking out from svn. So, please make sure that for every commit of configure.ac or Makefile.in you also update and commit configure!
