Any reason why we don't just drink all the koolaid and use the full autoconf/automake/pkgconfig system in all its glory? This seems to be fairly prone to porting issues - especially the -I/usr/local/include bit.
glory is not a word I usually associate with that stuff :-)
Okay, fair enough. But heres the thing - "that stuff" has already figured out some of the icker bits of trying to find libraries and other such things - and when other people come along to try to adapt this code in their build systems they will appreciate breakage in a common location rather then you introducing new but slightly familiar breakage that they then need to understand.
