Or cmake, or any other modern build system aside from autotools. Heck, even just a Makefile and code with a few ifdefs is enough for fairly simple code. A lot of the complexity of autoconf / libtool is totally unneeded. I was very glad when I ripped out libtool from a project at an older employer in the early 2000s. Even when building libraries on Windows, Mac OSX, AIX, Linux, FreeBSD & Solaris, libtool was not worth the complexity.
