My interest is main focused on the updating of Piper. I know this is something
not to be realized soon, but maybe after compiling we can install just the
'basic'
and have that install the complete system, and have it up to date.

Automake is a nightmare too.. but only for one person. I've used handcrafted
makefiles till recently, but I must agree autoconf should be used, or similar
tools.
