Makefile: ensure utils/ exists before writing to it
Since utils/ was changed to not build recursively it's possible that in
out-of-tree builds the utils/ directory hasn't been created when Make runs the
utils/kconfig-tweak target which tries to write to file inside utils/.
This is the case, for example, when using --disable-dependency-tracking.
To ensure this can work, mkdir the directory.

Makefile: generated yacc/lex/gperf source are maintainer-clean
Those files should not be cleaned using the standard distclean or clean

should be kept, especially in released tree.
They should only be removed inmaintainer mode (but a "git clean -dX"
will remove them too!).

The yconf.c file is generated from the yconf.y yacc source; it is the
main and only source file that is actuall compiled, as it #include-s the
other source files (weird, but that's how it's done upstream).
So yconf.c does not need to be listed as a built source; the other two,
generated from lex and gperf source files, do need to be listed because
they are not part of _SOURCES, but are only in _EXTRA_SOURCES.
However, .c files generated from yacc code are nt considerate as being
intermediate files, and thus are not cleaned automatically.

New version of gperf (3.1, released in January 2017) breaks the
build of kconfig-frontends both for the last package you uploaded
(3.12.0.0) and for the HEAD from the repository.
The problem is that gperf 3.1 now uses "size_t" as the length
argument for the functions, while earlier versions use "unsigned
int".
As suggested by Freddie, add a configure check to detect the type used
in gperf declarations. Unlike the patch from Freddie, we use as much
autoconf code as possible, rather than canned shell commands. This makes
the code about twice bigger, but it is full autoconf stuff, so
presumably more portable.
Also add a patch to be applied by scripts/ksync.sh, so that the change
persists with future update from upstream (as so we catch it when
upstream fixes it by themselves).

buildsystem: fix GEN messages in verbose mode
So far, setting silent mode was done in configure.ac, and was on by
default for "release" builds and off for "devel" builds.
However, in "release" builds, running "make V=1" would not display the
commands used to generate tsome files (like the ones generated via moc
or sed), because the MAKEFLAGS would always contain -s and it was not
possible to disable this behaviour unless by calling configure again.
Handle the SILENT_MAKEFLAGS like AM_V_GEN et al. are managed, by
diverting it to the correct value without the need to re-run configure.
At the same time, also provide the verbose versions of AM_V_MOC and
AM_V_GPERF (even if that is technically not needed, it's good for
homogeneity with the rest of the automake-generated code).

buildsystem: do not use program-prefix to set the kconfig- prefix
Currently, we use automake's --program-prefix to set the prefix of the
kconfig executables to 'kconfig-'.
However, this is neither very nice nor very reliable. In some cases, the
standard practice distributions use is to force the prefix to be empty,
in which case this would create clashes with other tools (esp. diff and
merge).
Furthermore, we use a dirty trick to achieve this, by initialising
program-prefix before initialising automake. There is no guarantee this
will continue to work with future automake versions.
Stop using this trick, and directly include the 'kconfig-' prefix for
all programs (binaries and scripts alike) that we may generate and
install.

autostuff: get rid of the bootstrap script
Running autoreconf when AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR does not exist ends up in a
failure. Unfortunately, git does not track empty directories. That's why
we have bootstrap, which creates it before running autoreconf.
Add an empty, dummy file in there and track it, so we can get rid of our
bootstrap script.
Update the README file accordingly.
We're left with a stray, generated autom4te.cache file, but that's a
minor annoyance.

Configure: check for lex/yacc availability in path
Autoconf provides macros to check for `Particular programs'. Among
those are `lex' and `yacc' families of programs. When the relevant
macro is used, autoconf will look for a list of programs in the PATH,
perform execution check of the programs found, and set the associated
variable to the best possible match (for example, `flex' has precedence
over `lex').
The problem comes from the behavior of those two macros when no match
is found in the PATH: associated variables are set to a default value
and no further check is performed. This can lead to running ./configure
successfully and encountering an obfuscated error during compilation
for the output of `lex' and `yacc' could not be produced and fed to
the compiler.
This patch adds checks on the result of autoconf macros, and aborts
./configure execution if needed.

configure: also search for libtinfo if needed
As Justin says:
When building ncurses with --with-termlib several symbols get moved from
libncurses.so to libtinfo.so. Thus when linking with libncurses.so, one
additionally needs to link with libtinfo.so.
Contrary to the Linux kernel (that is on the verge of using pkg-config or
the ncurses*-config scripts), we simply see if we need to link against
libtinfo to get a symbol known to get moved there.

configure: fixup extended colors in wide-char-enabled ncurses
As Krzysztof puts it in its commit log in the Linux kernel:
The ncurses library allows for extended colors. The support for extended
colors support depends on wide-character support. ncurses headers
enable extended colors (NCURSES_EXT_COLORS) only when wide-character
support is enabled (NCURSES_WIDECHAR).
The "make menuconfig" uses wide-character ncursesw library, which can be
compiled with wide-character support, but does not define NCURSES_WIDECHAR
and it's using headers without wide-character (and extended colors) support.
This fixes problems with colors on systems with enabled extended colors
(like PLD Linux). Without this patch "make menuconfig" is hard to use.
In kconfig-frontends, we fix this by adding the appropriate CPPFLAGS to the
mconf-specific ncurses CPPFLAGS.
