GNU autotools based build

- builds/install with the standard procedure:

        autoreconf -i
        ./configure
        make
        make install

- required autoconf version may be lowered (this is just the one I am
  using), needs to be tested, though

- removes all included boost files, these need not to be redistributed,
  but can / should be provided by the system (boost is pretty portable
  and provided by the distros)

- includes the appropriate checks, boost libs are missing appropriate
  functions to check
