piklab depends on arts, arts is broken, unbuildable, and unsupported

Description
See subject. Arts does not build, despite an entire afternoon spent whacking on it until the C++ weeds became too deep. The pervasive bugs (syntax errors in modern C++, most of them) suggest that arts has not been used for a long time. Upon further investigation, I discover that the arts maintainer is no longer interested in maintaining it. (http://www.arts-project.org/gen/newsarchive/news_2000.html)
If piklab depends on Arts, then it, too, is a waste of space.

Replying to blb@…:
Looks like possibly adding
--without-artsto configure for piklab should definitely avoid any dependency on arts.
Please see the attached diff.

Tried the diffs, built it, installed it, it looks at least minimally functional (and I checked that I was running 0.15.4).
The debugging info while running is a little much, but that beats not building at all.
I'll test programming an actual chip when a necessary cable arrives, will report back then, but this is a definite improvement even without that testing.
