At the cost of making is basically a major headache to make any changes.
DJB's  Makefile is  extremely easy  to understand  and modify.  Throw in
auto* tools and  it becomes a task for wizards.  KISS applies here. I'll
take a well written Makefile over auto* tools anyday.

Sounds like you  need to do a  little more homework on  the issue before
even bring up the topic. This is  the kind of thing politicians do. They
spread fear (bring up misunderstood topics even by them), feeding on the
ignorance  of the  public, and  use  that negative  energy to  implement
harmful  policies,  that get  sold  as  policies  that are  intended  to
``protect the public'' or otherwise harm no one and benefit all. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.

In the end, this is your project, so do with it as you will, but you did
request comments by starting a thread on a public mailing list. :-)
