I did create a Bakefile package but found that Bakefile segfaults with the
stretch version of python. Though by coincidence a fix was mentioned elsewhere a
few days later so it could be made to work, I was sufficiently discouraged that
future 4Pane releases will probably switch to automake.

I've therefore removed all Bakefile traces from the source repo and substituted
an automake build system. This autoreconfs and builds successfully.

I hope you will be happy with this alternative, but if not I'll fix the
potential Bakefile package.
