autotools patch for bullet install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Greetings,

Here is a patch to allow building with autoconf and automake that I've did
for bullet install on Gentoo Linux.
It will install the 3 minimal libraries with libtool, so either shared or
static (or both), the pkgconfig file, and all the headers.
I hope you find it useful.

Regards,

Sébastien

Sébastien,

I committed something based on your patch. I had to undo the changes you made to
disable the demos from building. Thanks for the contribution.

John,

Thanks for considering the patch! 
Could it be possible to have the option to disable the demos building?
It helps us as a source distribution where some users might need bullet only 
for the
libs and headers.

Sébastien,

I just committed code so that you can run configure with --disable-demos . Let 
me
know if it's not sufficient.

Thanks,
John

Thanks John. I tried the latest trunk and it seems good.

I noticed you also re-included the Extras directory into the building process. 
Some
of the libs built under the Extras directory are often already available in 
Linux
distribution. Are they absolutely needed for the bullet libraries, couldn't we 
add
also a --disable-extras?

Sébastien,

Some of the Bullet demos require the libraries included in Bullet/Extras . 
Bullet
isn't intended to be a system wide library. It is intended to be included in 
your
project and statically linked in. Given that, I don't think there is enough 
benefit
to be able to optionally disable the Extras folder.
