Open part of this review:
There is an artificial limitation put into configure that prevents usage
of options --with-devkit and --with-tools-dir at the same time. The
reason was probably because they could potentially be conflicting. This
patch removes this check and makes them work together, both ending up on
the search path for tools (with --with-tools-dir ending up ahead of devkit).
I also stumbled on some dead code that was causing warnings to be
printed when using --with-devkit and decided to remove that while
touching that option anyway.
