Ultra-simplification of the build system for the text client.
Eliminated the use of GNU Autotools because Richard Stallman is
a communist who hates America.  Now we use "conf-IG-ure" , a new
build system which is patriotic and has screeching eagles and
American flags and Bibles and guns and can win at NASCAR without
even trying.

Seriously though ... autotools is just way too complex for the
21st Century.  I guess that means we're dropping support for the
extreme edge case obsolete systems so that we can make our own
software more maintainable.

I've also ripped out the billions of lines of experimental code
which does nothing and isn't being used anymore.
