This PR add autoconf scripts (mainly configure.ac and Makefile.am) to allow the standard configure / make / make install process for building and installing CCExtractor on Linux systems.

Makefile.am is mostly derived from the existing Makefile (removed in this PR as it is no longer required) with target renaming as appropriate.

All the lib checking (tesseract, leptonica, etc.) and option parsing (--enable-ocr, --enable-ffmpeg, etc.) is now moved to the configure step after the addition of relevant macros in configure.ac

The other files added (Makefile.in, config.h.in, etc.) allow the building and installation to take place on systems where autotools is not installed.

pre-build.sh was modified to use relative paths with respect to the directory in which the shell script exists and not the current build directory.

Tested on
Kernel : Linux 4.4.48-1-MANJARO (x86_64)
C Library : GNU C Library version 2.24 (stable)
Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 6.3.1 20170109 (GCC)
Distribution : Manjaro Linux
