Summary: Allow libewf/afflib location to be specified

Initial Comment:
Currently, configure will search in standard locations for libewf and afflib. If a user installs the libraries in their home directory though, it will not be found.  Add a feature to configure to allow user to specify the location. For example, some other programs allow the user to specify '--with-LIBXYZ=/my/path'.

Message:
Fixed.  --with-libewf=dir and --with-afflib=dir can be used.
--without-afflib and --without-libewf should now be used instead of
--disable-libewf and --disable-afflib.

Message:
I thought that this was part of autoconf by default, but realized that it
means something else. Reverted instructions.  Working on different fix
using AC_ARG_WITH.
