Make further autoconf rule improvements and update the required
version of autoconf to 2.69. That version is now 5+ years old and
although there might be older versions which have the prerequisite
macros they are known to have lots of bugs, and we can't really test
them.

Instead of trying to do hacks in the Makefiles, define header files
for specific compilers if they can't use autoconf. Currently defined
for Microsoft Visual Studio, based on MSDN documentation. It is
currently untested.

It's become custom to create a script called autogen.sh, which creates
all the auto-generated files using all the appropriate auto* tools when
run, so one doesn't have to worry about checking them into the repository.
This seems like a good idea, follow suit.
