Build this on raspbian with:

$ debuild -b -uc -us

or manually with ./autogen.sh, configure, make, etc.

I am curious, in part because I do not know a lot about autotools, what makes this better as a whole? It kind of introduces autotools as a dependency and a more complex one too. I would hope it would include some more detailed docs or links to them on that. What is there now is much easier to understand. Does autotools provide more ability to build this across other OS's or integrate better with existing build tools for say Raspbian or something?
