Out of source tree build for GNU autoconf
0%
Description
Currently, the GNU autoconf system in DCMTK does not support building the toolkit in a different directory (unlike CMake). This would be desired since this would make many things easier (like using git, parallel builds with autoconf and CMake, etc.)

- File out_of_tree_ofstd.patch out_of_tree_ofstd.patch added
The attached patch makes it possible to build ofstd out of tree.
Caveats:
- No clue what the purpose of some of the code is that I removed from configure/confmod
- This might be using "abs_" too much (e.g. try top_builddir instead of abs_top_builddir)
- None of the sed-calls properly escape the path. For example, if the path to the buildir or srcdir contains a ":", this might explode
- Lots of work left
- Lots of subtle bugs introduced
I think that switching to cmake exclusively is way easier than trying to make this work properly. (And also better in the long term, less build systems to maintain)

Out of source tree build possible now with the CMake toolchain.
