I think this discussion was had before.
First of all, our autogen *is* compatible with others. other autogen scripts
also allow ./autogen.sh -- --libdir=...
Second, our autogen.sh script takes some options. They are not configure options.
To separate the autogen options from the options that get passed on to
configure, we use a standardly accepted method - separating the two sets with
'--'. Everything before '--' are autogen options, everything after '--' are
arguments. compare rm -f with rm -- -f; the latter deletes the file called '-f'.
But it's a silly discussion - jhbuild makes changes for a lot less well-behaved
projects than gstreamer. We already added a prefix fallthrough before for the
same reason. How hard can it be to just respect a project's build setup in
jhbuild ?
