In my experience, it's not getting the project set up which is problematic,
but fixing all the macro incompatibilities every time the "auto" tools are
updated by one minor revision (and i was never quite sure what they were
"auto"mating, since i always had to expend so much effort to make them
work). i spent hundreds of hours back at the start of the century fighting
with it, but eventually gave up on them, wrote my own version accommodating
only "Unix-like systems hosting GNU tools", and that's all i've used every
since.
