Actually, what is the advantage exactly? Current asterisk build system
using makefiles works just fine.
If you want system-dependent stuff-like config.h it can be generated in a
toplevel makefile from a shellscript/perlscript/whatever.

Infesting the huge mess that is autoconf doesnt seem to make much sense,
especially if...

... nobody wants to maintain it.
