Andrew Bettison e51189a1c8 Remove aclocal.m4 from version control
Henceforward, aclocal.m4 will be generated by the 'autoreconf' command.

The 'autoreconf -f -i' command may now emit a warning "Unsupported
attribute section, the test may fail" on some systems, but it will still
generate the proper aclocal.m4 and ./configure files.  To suppress this
warning, simply invoke autoreconf with '-I m4' argument:

    autoreconf -f -i -I m4

The INSTALL.md has been updated accordingly, and a new 'Notes for
Developers' technical document added, explaining the use of aclocal and
autoreconf, and documenting that these warning messages are of no
concern.
