Comment(by vbraun):
The configure.ac and m4 files are definitely not easy to write,
essentially they are a mash-up of various languages and you can easily
produce unimaginable horrors if you don't follow the docs closely. On the
plus side, the only parts that actually change as you develop the code
further are the Makefile.am files. Whenever you add another source file
you just have to tell automake which binary it is for, and all the rest is
done automatically. And the Makefile.am is really easy to use and
maintain, for example http://code.google.com/r/vbraunname-eclib-
autotools/source/browse/procs/Makefile.am is much clearer than any hand-
written makefile could ever be.
Is there a list of which make targets are particularly important?
