Build layout

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to rewrite the configure/install steps so
that you can just run one ./configure && make && make install from the topdir.
This is how most packages do it (well, the easy ones, anyways ;)) and would
make installing Y much easier. What would be needed (vaguely, I'm not a
Makefile/configure wizard) is that the make processes do the libraries/packages
in-order, install the libs to $topdir/.libs, and for the necessary packages add
$topdir/.libs to LDFLAGS, then when it's all done and linked, run `make
install` in all of the subdirs.

Well, that's the general idea, anyways. ;)
