Well, it's not 100% plug-and-play, but there *is* a documented example
of using autoconf & automake to build a pd external which has been
available for some time in svn:

searching the list archives for 'automake' also reveals some more on
this topic:

Agreed.  It *ought* to be easier than it currently is, though (if I
could only figure out how to hack the extension rule for libtool
libraries...)
