(svn r7759) -Merge: makefile rewrite. This merge features:

 - A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
 - Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
 - A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
 - Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
 - Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
 - Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.

Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.

+//  it does that by putting a 1 and a 0 in an array, and read it out as one
+//  number. If it is 1, it is LITTLE_ENDIAN, if it is 256, it is BIG_ENDIAN
+//
+// After that it outputs the contents of an include files (endian.h)
+//  that says or TTD_LITTLE_ENDIAN, or TTD_BIG_ENDIAN. Makefile takes
+//  care of the real writing to the file.
