1) Cleaning up the output stage (it's wrong).
2) Looking into dropping Apache-style 'layout' support in. Using AC_WITH_ARG
    for directories is a bit naughty. Autoconf doesn't support easy addition
    of more --blahdir options, so maybe the apache approach is better.
3) Rename of variables, to follow the autoconf style.

Shouldn't be too much pain -- I'm using the docs at Gnu.org as my 
reference, and they're based on 2.53. I've added AC_PREREQ(2.53) to 
document this.

I'll try and have something ready by the end of the day to send in.

Cheers,
