Okay Paul that's not very encouraging.

Well I have just been using basic makefiles and 'pkg-config --cflags
--libs foobar' in the past. But now I need to use this mimetic library
so I downloaded it, ran some of the example programs, looked at the
makefile and almost fainted. (You can see that makefile here
http://www.ethanzimmerman.com/mimetic/Makefile.in ) So I figured maybe
it's time to learn that whole autotools thingy. And while I may be
able to complete this task without learning them I will need to learn
them eventually b/c I'd like to make a career out of linux
programming. Also like most geeks I don't just want to know how to do
something I also want to know how it works.

Where's that matrix-style direct brain interface when you need it? (I
know Kung Fu!)

Also I have been making my way through the 'autobook' that is freely
available online, but any help and advice you can offer would be
....uhm, helpful
