port e885ea38fbe6f09d5ba38d5275444daf12077aa6 from Pd-l2ork: added redundant aclocal and autoconfig for the pd folder

*improved installer to make it easier to recompile pd-l2ork when continuing development after building a snapshot deb or tarball installer (the pd folder will retain config script with the appropriate --prefix flag)

*made disis_gpio and disis_spi buildable on all platforms (so that one can easily develop patches on a laptop and transport them onto RPi

improved installer to avoid install of Gem libraries when doing incremental install (should significantly shorten incremental installs)

made disis_wiimote statically linked so that new installs do not require install of the custom cwiid library that potentially clashes with other deb-based versions.
