Use more advanced autoconfiguration macros for OpenSSL and Boost. This allows to pick up the libraries even if they are installed in other locations than /usr (such as /usr/local on BSD) and to specify alternative paths using the --with-openssl=/path or --with-boost=/path switches to configure, respectively. The downside is that autoconfiguration and build takes longer, since the Boost macros require libtool.

Add proper autoconfiguration for all the dependencies. This brings
standard ways to point configure to the installation location of the
dependencies. It also makes configure pick up dependencies
installed outside of the default include/library search paths, which
is often the case on non-Linux systems, where ports install into
/usr/local.
Since the upstream M4 macros for Boost require libtool, this also
brings libtool into the autotools toolchain. To simplify bootstrapping,
an autogen.sh script was added.
