some SDL configure options, and a question

Hi,

Here are some files to make sdl configuration easier (for instance to
check were the include files are). I did not do much here, just went
through some other sdl projects to see how they did it.

The files are:
acinclude.m4 : macros to check for sdl, as well as the old aclocal.m4
  file. run aclocal to include it in you aclocal.m4 (maybe we could
  put everything directly there, I'm no specialist of aclocal to tell)

configure.in.diff : a cvs diff -c of configure.in, with one simple
  change: fetching the SDL_LIBS defined when checking for sdl. (change
  the required version of sdl if it is not 1.0.0 as I put there)

sdl.Makefile.in.diff : a cvs diff -c of sdl/Makefile.in, putting the
  SDL_CFLAGS generated instead of the hard coded ones

with this changes, aclocal.m4 is no longer needed in the cvs
repository (it is generated by aclocal), and after an autoconf, and a
configure --enable-sdl, the makefiles are ready for the make
all-sdlconq

I also put in with these files a doc.cvsignore, to append to the
.cvsignore of the doc directory.

Now to the questions:

sdl-conq does not work, it fails with the error
Error: could not open SDL small_font.

Which font is that suppose to be.

Well, looking at the code, I got it. Maybe a readme that says to
launch sdlconq as ./sdlconq -L ../images in x11 ?

Another question, about cvs this time: I never download the tcl and tk
directory. Is there a simple way to exclude them (on my side) from the
cvs update, or maybe to put them in another module on the server side,
so that they are not downloaded automatically.

Thanks for this great game,

Alan Schmitt
