This guarantees that all features of libraw1394 are actually built in.
Before, some features and fixes would be silently dropped if too old
system headers (typically provided by a package called linux-headers)
were present.
An alternative would be to keep using system headers but add warnings
during the ./configure stage if old headers were encountered. But this
helps only the person who builds libraw1394 (if there is a person
involved at all), not the users who have no reliable way to determine
how the library binary was built.
Another alternative would be to change the former soft dependency on
certain linux-headers versions into a hard dependency, i.e. fail the
build in absence of too old headers. This would add an inconvenience
in setting up the build environment though: The system headers would
have to be updated or a private copy of linux/firewire-*.h be specified
by way of the --with-fw-dir configure switch.
Anyhow. The libraw1394 sources now already bring a suitable copy of
the two header files. The --with-fw-dir configure switch is no longer
useful and is removed.

Subject: [patch libraw1394-2] src/makefile.am expects FW_DIR to be set,
but configure only sets it if given --with-fw-dir
Here's a very small patch for the configure system of
libraw1394-2.0.{0,1,2}. At the moment, if configure is called without
--with-fw-dir, then FW_DIR doesn't get specified. The Makefile includes
the line INCLUDES=-I$(FW_DIR) and so in the compilation we get a -I not
followed by anything sensible. That can cause compilation issues in
certain circumstances (see Gentoo bug 272540), so this patch ensures
that INCLUDES is only set if --with-fw-dir was specified.
Please let me know if there's any problems with the patch or if I've
submitted it to the wrong place or in the wrong way. Thanks...

- Move configure.in to configure.ac (for autoconf 2.50+).
- Set CFLAGS to "-Wall -O2" only if not in environment already.
- Set package version to 1.0.0 already.
