[Xotcl] Bug: configure step hardwires location of aolserver

Hi,

When configuring xotcl in any way whatsoever, if the configure step determines
it should build with aolserver extensions, it assumes the only possible place
for aolserver is in /usr/local/aolserver, a mistaken assumption for the same
reason that it's possible to install cat or grep in any location on the
unix installation.

The right way to do this is to add a configure.in option which would include
a specification of where aolserver is located. Suggestion, this option could
be named --with-aolserver=<dir>. Also, there should exist --without-aolserver.
