the patch is .. gulp.. 500 kilobytes or so..
I think there's just a lot of noise in it; for sure it's not useful to
see what it's doing.
Yeah, really doesn't make sense "read" the patch, because it move
files locations and add some autotools scripts. It's better apply and
see what happens. ;)

is there any real advantage of doing this?
Sure! As I told you...
- Built-in support for: Doxygen, efence and lcov. (./configure --help
for more options)
- Automatic dist package (make distcheck)
- Standardization with GNU tools
- Easy ctags generation (make ctags)
- Intuitive installation (./configure; make; sudo make install)
I'm no great autoconf fan, especially not for simple "few c files in
one dir" projects like PowerTOP is...
No one likes autotools...
for autoconf to be worth it, it really ought to provide some
advantage.... and so far I've not found any for simple, Linux-only
programs. (Once you go into projects that do shared libraries and are
cross OS, the rules change obviously)
There is no worth... every Linux distro comes with autotools. The
current buildsystem is not able to perform an uninstall. I like the
KISS methodology, but IMO the usage of a standard buildsystem is
easier for distro packagers, developers and end users.
