Ooo comments... ok, hacked that in just now. lines with a # in them get
the preceding space, # and remainder of the line stripped out. Also
ignores empty lines safely too.

If there's *any* further changes to the yaml parsing, I'll migrate to
the full module support.

I've actually just tested this. For ./configure to work it needs the
install-sh and missing scripts, also needs the INSTALL and COPYING files
to exist too. I've copied the scripts from automake-1.11 and removed
everything not needed for ./configure to work.

The only concern for me is the configure.ac file. I'm not sure if that's
really something that should remain just in case someone wants to re-run
the autotools setup.

Cheers!
