Having to fix autoconf scripts is the same as having to edit sources, and worse. Having to edit a well-designed Makefile is the same as having to edit a decent (non-XML) configuration file.
At least, autoconf deals with cross-compilation while most of those who think that they can write decent makefiles fail to do so. Average software package will require tweaking sources regardless of the build/configuration system it employs.

Any of this fails to attract my attention in debian, for example. Except, probably the case when I discovered that ion3 no longer does xinerama due to you being somehow upset with xinerama API. Just like you rolled back to an older kernel, I had to roll back to a known-to-work snapshot of ion3. And I do not take that 'mindless consumerism' shit; I can tell what's convenient for me from 4+ years experience with dualhead setups and ion. -- I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
