hmm, let's look at a sample of what's in tree already (not all of them).
archivers/par2cmdline/Makefile:37- aclocal; automake --add-missing;
autoconf
audio/faad/Makefile:71- sh bootstrap
audio/timidity/Makefile:71- AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION}
aclocal -I autoconf
audio/swh-plugins/Makefile:47- cd ${WRKSRC}; ${AUTO_ENV} aclocal -I . -I m4
audio/mp3blaster/Makefile:38- @cd ${WRKSRC}; ${AUTO_ENV} aclocal
audio/jack/Makefile:63- cd ${WRKSRC}; ${AUTO_ENV} aclocal
audio/jack/Makefile:66- cd ${WRKSRC}; ${AUTO_ENV} automake --add-missing
--foreign
comms/tlf/Makefile:36- autoreconf --install
devel/hyena/Makefile:39- AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION}
aclocal -I build/m4/shamrock
devel/ois/Makefile:45- AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION} sh
./bootstrap
games/numptyphysics/Makefile:57-
AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION} aclocal
geo/osm-gps-map/Makefile:56- NOCONFIGURE=yes ./autogen.sh
graphics/libpgf/Makefile:39- sh autogen.sh
lang/fsharp/Makefile:38- AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION}
./autogen.sh --prefix=${LOCALBASE}
multimedia/transcode/Makefile:129-
AUTOMAKE_VERSION=${AUTOMAKE_VERSION} autoreconf -if
security/yara/main/Makefile:20- AUTOCONF_VERSION=${AUTOCONF_VERSION}
./bootstrap.sh
so some different filenames, various direct auto* / aclocal invocations,
some aren't executable (or maybe use bash) and need sh ..
Perhaps match on something like 'CONFIGURE_STYLE= gnu gen' and set
'MODGNU_GEN?=sh autogen.sh' but still allow it to be overridden?
(Or s/gen/generate/ for a more self-explanatory string but more to
type).
Other input definitely welcome.
