I haven't looked at it in awhile, but why not just use autogen.sh
and have it do the configure.in checks, and populate a $MAKE environment
variable, which your install-script can pick up? Call it ./install or
something, and leave the innards under the hood, invisible.

Be aware though, that it may not always be in the path, like on
Solaris machines where gmake is on the system (and preferred) but buried in
a completely non-LSB location.
