This commit starts to split our massive, monolithic configure.ac file
into smaller files, using the m4_include mechanism to combine them.
I don't know if we should really do this, so I'm open to comments
about it. However:
- Our configure.ac script is 1800+ lines long, and that's pretty long.
- configure.ac lacks structure; splitting it up might improve that.
- From what I read, m4_include is a simple include device, so this
shouldn't break anything
