Final (I hope) version of patch is at
http://japhy.fnord.org/pub/ecls-build-20050407.tar.gz .  I cleaned up
Makefiles (most changes are minor ones) and tweaked msvc build system
to match source changes (please test, I don't have msvc here).  I left
config.h generation alone -- after looking into it I decided it would
be overcomplicated and too error-prone.

Detailed list of changes since 20050401 patch:

==================================================
Build diff version 1.2 (Makefiles)

*** User-visible changes

- Use $(DESTDIR) variable when installing to make packaging easier.

*** Internal changes

- Use @SET_MAKE@ and AC_PROG_SET_MAKE to set $(MAKE) if needed,
  always use $(MAKE) instead of just calling make;
- Use $(LN_S) supplied by autoconf instead of ln -s by hand;
- Use $0 instead of hard-coded program name in ecl-config;
- Removed NOP sed expression 's,~A,$(libdir),;s,~\*,,' from building
  ecl-config;
- Make BUILD_STAMP contain useful text (cut out of config.log instead
  of
  config.status);
- Use @RANLIB@ found by autoconf instead of calling ranlib directly;
- Don't install config.h in src/Makefile (gets overwritten later by
  src/c/Makefile);
- Reverted autoconf variable name change in *.lsp in #+msvc lines;
- Tweaked msvc makefiles to make it build with changes in source files
  (please check).
