[libvirt] [PATCH] build: use autobuild module to make build logs nicer

A recent build failure made me realize that we could usefully add
a bit more information to configure output, for aid in analysis of
failed builds.  Pulling in the autobuild module merely adds these
four lines to configure output:

configure: autobuild project... libvirt
configure: autobuild revision... 1.0.1
configure: autobuild hostname... myhost
configure: autobuild timestamp... 20130102T181342Z

which can be useful even if not using the Autobuild project to parse
build logs.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add autobuild.
---

I'll wait for a review on this one.  Hmm, I also realized that
there are other things that might be useful for autobuild to
log, such as uname output; I'll ask upstream if it is worth
enhancing the autobuild output, and if upstream agrees, then
we would pick up that enhanced information next time we sync
from gnulib.
