Rewrite the DUNE_CHECK_LIB_EXT macro:

 * Essentially copy and adapt the definition of AC_CHECK_LIB.  This should
   make sure the two macros behave the same even in corner cases (except for
   the added functionality, of course).

 * Properly document what exactly is allowed in the arguments.

Parse arguments to DUNE_CHECK_LIBS_EXT properly in parmetis.  This avoids
expansions like 'LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L"$PARMETISLIBPATH""'.

support for out-of-source builds in Dune.

You call dunecontrol with a parameter --builddir=NAME
dunecontrol will create a subdirectory NAME inside each 
module and do an out-of-source build there.

Not necessarily all modules support out-of-source, but at 
least common/istl did work.

* Infrastructure to warn about the use of deprecated preprocessor make
  variables.
* Use that infrastructure to war about MPI_CPPFLAGS.

[[Imported from SVN: r5807]]

  - Introduce autoconf substitutions DUNEMPICPPFLAGS, DUNEMPILDFLAGS and
    DUNEMPILIBS.
  - Deprecate MPI_LDFLAGS and MPI_CPPFLAGS: the automake manual recommends
    against "_" in names of such variables, MPI_LDFLAGS actually contains
    mainly libraries and simply changing MPI_LDFLAGS to MPI_LIBS will probably
    break a lot of stuff.  By deprecating MPI_CPPFLAGS it is possible to make
    the preprocessor generate a deprecation warning with instructions to
    change both MPI_CPPFLAGS and MPI_LDFLAGS (though this has yet to be
    implemented).
