we'll probably try to remove the whole admin directory during the 0.17 
dev serie...
i've been partly successful by autotooling mustache without the admin 
dir...(it works, but isn't really usable for everyone yet, but no more 
make -f admin/Makefile.common step)

mustux has now it's own m4 macro to check it's installation and version 
(and a mustux-config script used by the macro)
what is missing is still a good qt m4 macro... but we can write our own, 
based on kde's (which is used now), and the one in automake's macro 
archive (which is used by my mustache experimentation)

the aim is to have a

AC_PATH_MUSTUX(required_min_version)
in the configure.ac for any application using libmustux, and this macro 
checks for mustux (headerfile, library, minimal version and so on) and 
then sets the following variables:
MUSTUX_LIBS
MUSTUX_CXXFLAGS

and a

AC_PATH_QT(required_min_version)
which will check for qt and set
QT_LIBS
QT_CXXFLAGS
QT_MOC
There should also be a way to specify that we require the -mt version...

I already commited the AC_PATH_MUSTUX macro (mustux.m4 in mustuxlib's 
cvs) and it seems to work well, the only problem is that it expects 
QT_LIBS; QT_CXXFLAGS to be set before been called, or it will fail.
