The ~ gets expanded to CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, $HOME, $USERPROFILE or just
".", whichever succeeds first. The usual location will be:
"C:\windows\profiles\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data".
"." is now the fallback for *nix systems too.
While it further breaks RPM building, all AC_SUBST(HAVE_*) have been nuked.
When AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE, tell automake to not generate var = @var@ in
Makefile.in for qf specific vars (QF_SUBST is a wrapper for AC_SUBST that
also calls AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE).
Most of the guts of configure.ac have been moved to config.d and are then
brought in by m4_include. This will make maintaining configure.ac much easier.
Also drop use of PROGRAM and VERSION, using PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, and
on occasion, PACKAGE_STRING instead, and clean out some old files we no longer
need.
