well, the install process has always been easy (if a little cryptic :)

gmake NSDISTMODE=copy DIST=/usr/local/nspr export libs install

it is definitely a homebrewed system, but it can work with autoconf (the
mozilla build marries them successfully.)  the toplevel japhar Makefile.am
would have to contain some smarts, but not too much, i don't think.
