build: use dolt

Drop-in replacement to libtool: http://dolt.freedesktop.org/. More
details: http://marc.info/?l=freedesktop-xorg&m=120791871615872&w=3

kmod is relatively fast to compile, so it doesn't matter much.
Nonetheless, less forks the better.

Compilation time using ./bootstrap-configure --disable-manpages and
make -j4
