That's of course a political question and I can feel your pain. My recommendation is to start small, show real benefit from your changes and if possible do one step at a time building up trust with the main developer. As soon as you have autoolified the project, gnulib integration should be fairly easy.

Show him that an autotooled project works very well for the users on various platforms.
