[Dune] trouble with autoconf

[Alexander Schlaich]

Hi Marcus,

thanks for the idea of using the tarballs, that way it worked fine.
All the other modules I could build succasfully from the svn-snapshot.
I used autotools 2.59 and also tried 2.65, so I don't know what the
problem is. Maybe I'll try cmake if I find the time.
