Hello!
Is there any interest in converting the build system used by git to
Autoconf and Automake? The ad-hoc configuration in Makefile is getting
too big. As for nice features like remembering $prefix, wouldn't it be
better to add them to Automake instead of limiting them to just one
project?
Other goodies from Automake are "make distcheck" and automatic
dependency tracking. Compatibility with non-GNU make could earn us some
respect from BSD folks.
I converted several projects to the GNU build system, including qgit.
It may be hard to get right, but then it just works for any
configuration without giving any trouble.
