curl and wget are needed as a build dependency so that the auto configuration will see them and set the relevant configuration options. Otherwise, we end up with a ct-ng that can't download anything.
However, curl and wget are not strict runtime dependencies, and we don't need both, so list them as Recommends: curl | wget for the binary package.
As we support CentOS, for example, we have a problem there
automake: warnings are treated as errors
kconfig/Makefile.am:26: warning: compiling 'lxdialog/checklist.c' in subdir requires 'AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in
'configure.ac'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
Automake does not allow us to place the hooks before its generated actions,
and does not allow us to check MAKECMDGOALS, and does not support a mechanism
for disabling make install (such as noinst_SUBDIRS, requested a few times
on automake mailing list). The only way I could preserve the current behavior
is to have a GNUmakefile wrapper that will convert MAKECMDGOAL into a variable
unknown to automake - which seems too convoluted a solution for the problem
being solved.
Hence the approach is to not override anything for --enable-local. It is now
fully handled by selecting different values for CT_xxx_DIR in ct-ng.in; but
at the build-system level, all the variables remain the same. We just don't
support 'make install' in that case anymore; but the ct-ng in the working
copy can be used after a regular 'make' (or 'make all').
Help message for --enable-local updated accordingly.

Also, move kconfig.mk into the main driver - we'd want kconfig to be a sub-package
so there's no sense in writing the installation framework for the ct-ng-specific
fragment in an otherwise independent directory.

Instead, just honor CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS as they're passed down from
configure. This brings the build process in compliance with the
recommended practices.

They don't make sense - using same ct-ng won't work with different versions,
so they cannot coexist in the same prefix.
Also localize other configure variables so that their usage is easier to track.

Fixes#934
Add a rule that errors out with a message if configure.ac is newer than
configure. This should catch times where someone is building from the
repo without running bootstrap.
