Completely rewrote the automake/autoconf support. The comments at the top of the file have been greatly expanded in order to explain just what you are allowed to do and what will get you a visit from Mr. Hose. Please read this information.
Added DOCSDIR, EXAMPLESDIR to PLIST_SUB.
Added a PERL_LEVEL variable (documented up top) that gives an integer
value that can be used for comparisons to determine whether the user's
perl is new enough or not, or to enable or disable certain dependencies
(AHEM FILE::SPEC) based on the perl version.
Added a SITE_PERL variable, which points to the correct "site-packages"
directory. This is also added to PLIST_SUB.
No gerbils were harmed (seriously, anyway) in the making of this patch,
however some of them may be a bit sore for a few days.
