The fact that libggi doesn't use autoconf/automake has been discussed
several times on the list. It doesn't yet because

1) Noone got down to do it
2) It is believed that *BSD people would be annoyed by that.

We are aware of autoconf/automake, actually I am working on a side
project right now involving patches to binutils and other gnu programs so
I see it at work every day :)

I'm not sure about how much the 2) is true. I guess that, for libggi,
it wouldn't hurt anyway. As you seem to know the issue, would you
want to work on that for us?
