ALDORROOT

[pbroadbery]

Setting ALDORROOT should not be required; applications ought not need a map to find their own backsides, er, files.

aldor currently does some of this, but it is easily confused.

I have added a wrapper script that sets ALDORROOT as Waldek Hebisch' advised. This now works relatively well, but perhaps aldor should be told more about where its files are located. If people modify some of the dirs (e.g. libexecdir is different on Ubuntu than on Debian), it gets confused.

I'm somewhat reluctant to hard-code the paths into the binary, but putting more information into the wrapper script or a configuration file whose location is known (aldor.conf?) might be a solution.

The wapper script is good - there is some code in axlcomp.c which works off
argv[0] to set ALDORROOT, but it doesn't work in the case of aldor being
found via PATH. It probably should be killed offf.

Commit 5ca3e2f allows external users to query configure-time variables from the wrapper script.
