    Move to non-recursive make · 2a4a1496

    This gives us a few benefits:
    1) make -j clean all
       this will start working, as it should. It currently doesn't.
    2) increased parallel build
       recursive make will max out at number of files in a directory,
       non-recursive make doesn't have such a limitation
    3) Removal of duplicate information in make files,
       less error prone
    
    I've also slightly updated how we call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, as the way
    that was used was not only deprecated but will be *removed* in the next
    major automake release (1.13).... so probably best that we can continue
    to bulid tor without requiring old automake.
