autotools transition report: need a flag day

Can't really do a call for testers anymore, because we have to rename some
stuff inside the testsuite, including a directory.  I'm satisfied that
we won't break any major targets.  We'll need more testing on difficult
cross targets.

After this, nothing inside the library will refer to itself as
"libstdc++-v3".  Which means that name will not be propogated to the users.
The only places we'll be seeing "-v3" are references to the source directory.

Also after this, you'll need the new versions of the tools I announced a
few days back.

So, designate a day when I can start making changes, and I'll do it.
