Okay, just to put my two cents in here ... when I played with libtool a
little while back, it was my impression that *without* using automake,
using libtool would be pretty hellish ...
... but, shouldn't automake be a requirement on a developers machine if,
and only if, they modify either the Makefile.am files *or*
configure.in? Like, it should only be a requirement for a select few of
the developers?
