reworking the build system for sage ("the distribution")

goals

module build systems seperated from toplevel package/module management
make embedded modules usable outside sage ("the distribution")
(still) build depends only on (gnu) make and bash
allow fallback to system-installed modules/packages. not just for gcc
make embedded modules work with other (gnu/linux) software distributions (gsoc project)
VPATH build
install/uninstall for all packages within sage
allow swich between system-installed and sage-shipped packages
parallel build
install targets conforming to standard
avoid patchbomb (see roadmap)

autotools can do most things. (no, this is not just AutoToolsSEP)
package dependencies remain make recipes
package management can be reused, must be simplified/extended.
foreign package build scripts will be turned into makefiles defaulting to "install"
DESTDIR is used to stage package contents
