Thanks for working on this.

After some thinking I'm positive to getting rid of autotools. Although
I don't find cmake to be very elegant, it feels less bad than
autotools, at least for modern systems.

Other opinions from list members are welcome!

I still haven't looked much at details of your implementation, but one
thing (also mentioned in previous off-list conversation) is that
everything related to creating archives for distribution is missing,
i.e. "make dist" and "make distcheck".
