Details:

AX_CODE_COVERAGE currently uses ifeq/ifneq in its generated make rules.  These
are a GNU Make extension which doesn't work with BSD Make and others,
resulting in errors such as:

    Missing dependency operator
    Need an operator
    warning: duplicate script for target "ifeq" ignored

This patch moves the conditionals into the configure script and builds the
rules using string concatenation before AC_SUBST.  Although it would be
preferable to use the Automake conditionals (AM_CONDITIONAL) in the make
rules, this does not appear to be possible within AC_SUBST content.  (If it
is, or you'd prefer another construct, do let me know.)

Best,
Kevin
