[Pianod] autoconf

[Peter Li]

I'll take a stab at it on a few different machines in the next few days.

16GB seems like enough to me, unless maybe you are planning to 
participate in big projects like Android or Chrome or QT.

You might consider picking up a RasPi since they're cheap and I think 
are likely to be a large Linux use case for pianod.  (I recently 
realized that the systemctl conf files I provided for /contrib are only 
useful on ArchLinuxARM, which is the RasPi I'm using for internet 
radio.  Most RasPi people are on Raspbian which I believe still needs an 
init.d script.  Probably same situation with RasBMC.  I will try to get 
to that soon and then make some posts on RasPi forums to hopefully get 
more people interested.)

I've fixed the libbsd check to try without -lbsd, then try -lbsd, and finally fall back to building it.  Or at least that's what I aimed for it to do.  Can someone give it another crank?

What sort of memory/disc requirements does Linux take up these days, if I'm going to have compilers and things on there?  A lot of the Netbooks have 16G SSDs, but that seems too small...
