Subject: [PATCH 1/7] autoconf: GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE: change signature

Change one-argument GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE([VAR=VAL]) to
GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE([VAR], [VAL]), that is more similar to the usual
AC_SUBST macro; this is only a preparatory change in view of future
refactorings.

No semantic change is intended.  In fact, the generated configure file
doesn't change at all.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] autoconf: GIT_CONF_APPEND_LINE -> GIT_CONF_SUBST

The new name fits better with the macro signature, and underlines the
similarities with the autoconf-provided macro AC_SUBST (which will be
made even more pronounced in planned future commits).

Once again, no semantic change is intended, and indeed no change to the
generated configure script is expected.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] build: "make clean" should not remove configure-generated
 files

Those filed hold variables, settings and information set by the
configuration process run by './configure'; in Autotools-based
build system that kind of stuff should only be removed by
"make distclean".  Having it removed by "make clean" is not only
inconsistent, but causes real confusion for that part of the Git
audience that is used to the Autotools semantics; for example,
an autotools old-timer that has run:

    ./configure --prefix /opt/git

in the past, without running "make distclean" afterwards, would
expect a "make install" issued after a "make clean" to rebuild and
install git in '/opt/git'; but with the current behaviour, the
"make clean" invocation removes (among the other things) the file
'config.mak.autogen', so that the "make install" falls back to the
default prefix of '$HOME', thus installing git in the user's home
directory -- definitely unexpected.

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] build: reconfigure automatically if configure.ac changes

This provides a reduced but still useful sibling of the Automake's
"automatic Makefile rebuild" feature.  It's important to note that
we take care to enable the new rules only if the tree that has already
be configured with './configure', so that users relying on manual
configuration won't be negatively impacted.
