OK, I set up an autoconf based build system.  I moved some things 
around to make coding the makefiles easier.  I also found a conflict 
with the system's spe.h, so renamed that file.  I put the results 
here:

http://tree.celinuxforum.org/downloads/libspe-0.9-autoconf-05.10.03.18.01.19.tar.bz2

Its just a first cut.  I think more work is needed in setting up 
the spu compiler.  Also, more work is needed to make the scripts 
in the tools directory use the host's cross toolchain.
