just played around with this a bit, looks like a the common code for initialising the projects can be moved into a macro, as long as AC_INIT is still in configure.ac. which is the project-specific part anyway. So a common template could be AC_DEFUN([XORG_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE],[ AC_PREREQ([2.60]) AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Makefile.am]) AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h]) AC_CONFIG_AUXDIR(.) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign dist-bzip2]) AM_MAINTAINER_MODE ]) which would make adding options easier in the future. switching to xz, changing/removing AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, etc. note, I've only tested this on a simple test project, not across all xorg modules.
