Add shellscript to generate build files for Linux #236

Closed RobertCochran closed 7 years ago

RobertCochran commented 7 years ago

Trying to make life easier on people trying to build from source. For those not familiar with the autotools suite (such as myself), this presents a barrier to entry that's pretty frustrating, especially given the lack of documentation.

I also removed the symlink to install-sh, as it was dangling on my machine, and it will be generated by the new shell script anyways.

I didn't try to add any documentation because I wasn't sure what exactly would have been wanted; whether you wanted it in the README or in the wiki, and other details. I'd be more than happy to do that given some direction.
