aalib: missing shared library

[jwilk]

The aalib formula passes --enable-shared=yes to the configure script, but this doesn't actually work: there's no .dylib in the bottle.
When I tried to build the formula from source, I saw this in the build log:

checking if the linker (/Applications/Xcode_13.0.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no
checking whether the linker (/Applications/Xcode_13.0.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... no
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output... rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory
rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory

rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory
ok
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... unsupported
checking for /Applications/Xcode_13.0.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r
checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no

This sounds very much like outdated autotools stuff, so it should be a matter of throwing autoreconf at the problem.

See jwilk/python-aalib#3 for context.

if it's just autotools that should be submitted upstream and preferably released as a new version.

AAlib is dead upstream: they had last release in 1998, last RC in 2001.

[SMillerDev]

That is very dead indeed, we should probably just deprecate/disable it then.
