Okkaay. Please read again my paragraph. Now please read the STATUS

understand of to get rid of automake -aka in a very, very long time-,
just say that, and I wont bother the list again.
automake doesn't work. The solution is to revert Paul's commit that
introduces automake. (Paul should really be the one doing this - not
you - since he started this mess and promised that he'd revert it way
back when.)
If you really want me to revert it I will. Then we won't have any build
system at all.
Maybe you are forgetting what we had before. A single makefile with
paths hard coded for your home directory.
If you want to convert it to use httpd's build system, no one is
stopping you.
I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, but if we want to rearrange
the source trees, then the build system should be fixed too. automake
*usually* requires all sources to be in the src/ dir - that's why you
can't really rearrange the directory layout to make sense without
first removing automake. It's a chicken and egg thing. -- justin
FWIW, Automake doesn't require everything to be in src/, but it seems
you are so tainted against the tool (Hey, I don't exactly love it
either), that it doesn't matter that it currently _does_ work.
