- Refactoring configure.ac a bit to use $host (please test on your platform)
- Use include GLUT_H instead of refering to the file directly since Mac
unfortunately chose to put this in GLUT/glut.h :-(

I've had to hack Simgear's configure.ac quite a bit [for Mac OS X],
using the Plib one as a reference.
The basic construct (a big switch statement based on the target
type) is nice, I think, since it moves lots of IRIX / cygwin / OS-X
specialties out of the way cleanly. Much more re-factoring of the
current tests in configure is possible if people are able to test.

Attached is the new, improved SkyCloud.cpp. Tested on west coast @ KSFO and
east @ KJFK. Don't have any southern hemisphere or other airports to test
against, but you might give it a go and see what happens
Probably a good idea to add some user options to set cloud altitude, startup
position, etc, but for now this should suffice.

Tidy up the autoconf/automake configuration a bit.
- Removed some old cruft.
- Removed some support for older versions of automake which technically was
correct, but caused the newer automakes to squawk warnings during an
initial sanity check (which isn't done very intelligently.)
NOTE: this fix is technically not correct for older version of automake.
These older version use the variable "INCLUDES" internally and could have
them already set to an important value. That is why we were appending
our values to them. However, newer versions of automake don't set this
value themselves so it is an error to append to a non-existant variable.
We seem to "get away" with overwriting the value on older versions of
automake, but if you have problems, consider upgrading to at least
automake-1.5.

2. I changed Simgear's autogen.sh so it is quieter, and errors out if
autoheader or autoconf fails. It puts all error output in autogen.err, and
deletes it if nothing errored out. The patch is in (sg.autogen.sh.patch.gz)
This patch applies to flightgear, too. If someone doesn't like what I did
here, please speak up! I really believe that this patch will help cause
less confusion among people new to compiling flightgear.

Here are some changes that gave me a significant frame rate increase of about 10 fps with random objects disabled. The interesting thing is that these changes aren't in the main loop but are in tile loader. My guess is that I've reduced the memory footprint just enough to reduce CPU cache misses, though I have no hard evidence of this.
Initially I modified all SGBinObject member functions to pass/return by reference instead of by-value. This gives little or no speed up but allows for some optimizations in fgBinObjLoad(). It is these changes that reduce the number of memory allocations. Needless copying of vectors, and vectors of vectors, can be very memory intensive, especially if they are large.
Anyway I would be interested to see if you get similar results. I would emphasize that the frame rate increase only occurs with random objects disabled. I lose about 10-15 fps on my GF2MX 32MB with random objects, probably a fill-rate limitation or texture memory thing.

Quick fix for bug reported by Julian Foad, where the simplify flag was
not honoured after the first call. This isn't all that efficient, and
the return type probably should change to string eventually, but this
fix avoids changing the headers for now.

Made SGPropertyNode::getPath extremely efficient: it now caches its
result, so after the first call for any node, it simply tests and
returns a pointer. This also fixes the problem of buffer conflicts
with make_string.
Added SGPropertyNode::hasChild(const char * name, int index = 0) to
provide a syntactically-cleaner way to test for the existence of a
child node, i.e.
for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
if (node->hasChild("foo", i))
foo[i] = node->getChild("foo", i)->getDoubleValue();
}

Fixed bug reported by Julian Foad:
While investigating, I found that SGPropertyNode::getPath returns a
(char *) pointer to the character data of a string on its stack,
i.e. to undefined memory after it returns. I remember someone was
changing strings to char* for efficiency. Perhaps this bug was
introduced then. I'll include a patch for it with my eventual patch
for the above, unless someone beats me to it. I don't think it
affects any existing callers: they all want a string anyway.

Patch from Julian Foad:
Remove a hack that originally worked around a buffer overflow
elsewhere in the file. The buffer overflow was fixed long ago, but
the hack was not removed.

Significant improvements to the change-listener support. There are
now three different change events, and the listener base class removes
itself from the parent in the destructor.
