The bad news are that the mjpegtools do not live alone... There are tons of programs which come with their own m4 macros. If you are using rpm, you will certainly break a lot of dependencies. It is hard to know if these dependencies are important or can be ignored...
I believe that rpm has become something like a (one of a few) standard(s) of making a system manageable with small effort. And the auto* tools do not come with a *.spec file.
