Include old build system, and make sure CI exercises both.
Autotools comes with support for TAP-based test suites, and the test suite was nearly there, so I adapted it to fit.
My system produces an error message when ```which``` fails to find an executable. I would like to produce no output for the routine parts of a test failure message.
They currently fail to recognize ```AC_SUBST```. Since I can find references to rewriting this in the early nineties, I think something's broken. Hopefully this fixes it.
Make things just a tad easier to install.

I got mildly annoyed getting my package manager to cooperate with the makefile, so I set up an autotools build system and changed the tests to support TAP. I have not run valgrind, but I do not think adding a newly generated header with a bunch of
#defines would create any memory leaks.This is one of the cases Autotools is designed for, so it was relatively straightforward. I missed a few of the names used in
#ifndefclauses. Should I add those?I might also be able to simplify the install process in Travis now. Should I try that as well?
