[reSIProcate] trunk migrated to autotools build system (r9487)

[Adam Roach]

I think I sent my earlier message too quickly. The information at the 
end of INSTALL doesn't seem quite correct either, as it continues to 
refer to the old build system as well.

I'm also, as an autotools non-expert, quite confused about what I need 
to do to go from a virgin checkout to a working binary. The README file 
needs to be updated to reflect this process.
