build system updates on cvs

Hello BASIN group,

Today updates to the BASIN kernel build system were committed to the
CVS. Items of interest:

-'make install' should now perform a complete install of the BASIN
kernel including the packages that are a part of it. What this means is
that:
        Headers are installed in PREFIX/include/basin
        Libraries in PREFIX/lib/basin
        Executables in PREFIX/bin

In reality, the basin_kernel has no executables that are necessary to be
installed, but currently the example/demo binary ends up there.

The PREFIX directory defaults to $PWD/usr/ for the time being. This can
be changed when basin_kernel is configured by typing:

'./configure --prefix=<DIRECTORY>'

In addition, there is now a library called 'libbasin' that wraps all the
existing library (basinbase + packages). This can be used with code that
needs to link against all the libraries basin offers.

The Makefile.am for basin_local has been modified to link against the
installed basin_kernel as well as use the new libbasin library.

If there are any questions or problems, please contact me.

Thank you,
~Doug
