Take it easy! =)

I did not see the the need for automake in the past. However, now that dist 
produces a .tar.gz and there's the res/ subdir and the Makefile is quite ugly, 
plus not all the dependency tracking is in place working, a little automake 
will be beneficial, so go ahead. Please make sure the snapshot target stays 
intact and that configure still supports the --with-cyrpto-* arguments for 
libcrypto (guess you'll go pkg-config here as well).

I'm not sure if it's the best idea to make each and every GUI project out 
there write it's own installer, when it's mostly a single executable that 
needs to be replaced to package it with upstream openvpn. The pragmatic way to 
do it would be to leave the GUI stuff in openvpn itself, but I guess you guys 
like the idea of bundling installers with other installers, right?
