Cool, good to know.

That's exactly the line of thinking I'd like to encourage: if our
dependent libraries don't build on other systems, help them with their
build system. That's much more in the open source spirit than coming up
with our own one - as we currently do. (Although I think botan is a bad
example here, because its build harness looks quite thought through and
tested on several platforms - certainly more than monotone currently has).

Checkout the branch net.venge.monotone.library-build. Expect having to
fiddle with autoconf et al. Corrections and improvements very welcome.
