I know that was mentioned then, but re-thinking this, as this will all
be Linux specific, I don't really see a need for autotools atm, and as
I personally find autotools a bit overcomplicated. I would like to try
just using plain Makefiles for now. If it turns out this does not work
we can always switch to autotools later.

Thanks for the offer though!
