I'm not convinced that re-implementing lots of things that autoconf
already handles properly & portably is the better route to go. It's
purely a waste of time. Hence, I'll be happy to send patches to use
autoconf, if you change your mind on the subject.

Now when you say you hate automake & libtool, then I'll wholeheartedly
agree with you.
