Use information autoconf determines anyway (machine type
building for, name of machine building on).
Only print build information if it is actually available (defined).
Add descriptions to all AC_DEFINE* macro definitions.

Use a single script to generate the version number from git. This script
* strips the v from the start of the "git describe" output
* changes all "-" occurences to "."
* does NOT create a properly sortable version number from "2.1-rc2"
type "git describe" output
* does NOT generate a "proper" "1.2.3" type version number under any
circumstances
* will generate "2.1" in case the "git describe" output is "2.1"
These policy might need closer adaption to awesome's tagging habit
some time.
In dist tarballs, ship a "version-stamp" file with the package version
in it. If the "version-stamp" file is present (i.e. if it is a source
tree from a dist tarball), no git checks will be performed.
Concept from autoconf, but code written from scratch to match
awesome's requirements.

awesome's default compiler flags work only with gcc, so we only use
them if gcc is detected.
Additionally, you can now avoid using these default flags by adding
AWESOME_CFLAGS="" to your make command lines.
