Hello Andreas,

good to hear that, because I think it is a good idea to get a build 
system which is able to automate the build process of the panotools on 
different platforms. I don't understand much of the GNU autotools, but 
today I found on the web this book, because of the troubles I hasve to 
compile hugin from cvs checkout source (see thread from yesterday):

This might be helpfull to all developers who want to use the GNU 
autotools build system. I don't know if this is usefull for somebody, 
but it seems to be relatively new, and maybe this info is helpful to 
you. Due to the fact, that I'm not a programmer the book didn't help me 
to compile hugin from cvs ;-( .    

Kind regards
