Now that we have a build-tools directory, move the various support
files used by Autoconf and Automake into it as well to reduce clutter
at the top level.

This patch makes the configure and build system use the output
from 'git describe' to determine the version of the software being
built. This means that all that is necessary to create a new release
is to tag the repository - removing the double sources of version
information.
There are a couple of fallbacks for systems which do not have git
available for builds. Firstly, if a file called '.version' exists
in the top level of the repository, then the version information is
pulled from this file. The intention is that those packaging up
git checkouts for onwards distribution will use
'git describe > .version' before producing their tarballs.
Secondly, if we cannot find any version information then the version
will default to 'UNKNOWN'
This all mirrors the way that many others have integrated git with
automake and friends - although the implementation is independent.
