Hello,

unfortunately I know nothing about libtool or automake, and this is not a
good moment for me to start learning them either.  :(

But.

An alternative build system like this seems to be quite easily
maintainable as a separate patch as well, or what do you think? Perhaps
this libtool/automake buildsystem could be a patchfile as long as it seems
to be tested and "safe" enough to be the principal build system.

Any ideas/comments?
