This custom-build-system-du-jour thing has been attempted before, and
it always leads to portability issues, packaging issues, and
ultimately a return to auto* tools.

When somebody makes a set of tools that can match auto* in terms of
portability (and no, I don't just mean Linux!), static/shared library
support, etc., there's a hope of switching.  Until then, we've made
very clear which versions of the auto* tools work.  Use them.
