mgetty should use autoconf and automake

IMHO, these should not be compile time options. I have been using mgetty for
a while now, and while admittedly has been working fine for me for quite a
while and don't have the latest versions, I have to have several binaries
pre-built (and/or customized and saved .h files) because of the compile time
options..
