 Autoconf / Automake ... suck.

 Thats my conclusion after trying to get my streaming MP3 server to use them.

 I know how usefull, and nice, it is to be able to download foo-src, and just have to type: 

./configure
make
su - make

 But actually generating all the config.in, and recoding your software to us all those "#ifdef HAVESOCKET_H" defines is a real mess.

 I hope somebody can come up with a better system, soon.
