Unfortunately, there is more to this than just the build. 
I am mostly concerned about the ./configure and the generated
config.h file.  Autoconf is critical for wide platform support.

But you gave me an idea.  Maybe I can just use autoconf and do away 
with automake and libtool.  I still need to use the libtool's 
library libtdl (I think it was), but that shouldn't be a problem.
That way I can still use make (gmake), as I have always done.
