autotools!

[CJ Collier]

What's currently being done with the move to autotools?  Who is
involved?  Who is managing the move?

I'd like to get this thing finished.  I think it will mean a great deal
more developers being interested in X.  Nobody likes having to learn the
intricacies of the current build system, and it puts folks off.

Someone tell me what to do to get involved, or tell me who the cats are
I need to herd in order to get it done.
