This can be done on a developer machine using "make dist" which generates a distribution tarball (even with the version naming), ready to go. If configure and it's m4 stuff are included, then all the user needs is a shell and compiler chain to build the project. That's part of the whole point of autotools.

As a followup, here is a source tarball generated from "make dist": pd-0.48.0.tar.gz <http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/pd-0.48.0.tar.gz> It should work on Linux and macOS. We still have some things to iron out for Windows/MinGW.
