I know upstream is reworking quite a bit of the build system in cvs as well. I will do a check out over the weekend, and if it can be relibtoolized in a reliable way, I will do so for the next version. My fear with your patch is that it will force autoreconf on at least one buildd (murphy's law) and it will ftbfs on more arches than kfreebsd. This can be solved with am_maintainer_mode, though, so maybe I should get around to sending that patch in as well.
