Thanks for all the help, Olivier and Jsper and Edscott.

I don't understand the bit about "the proper autoconf/automake tools."
 It would seem to me that since you are producing a product in wide
use on a lot of different systems (the gamut of linux and xxxbsd) that
you would not employ some special tricks that only a certain level of
autoconf/automake can decode properly.

What am I missing here?

What are the "proper tools" and what are "improper tools"?  I just had
a fresh look at the links page on www.xfce.org, and I find no mention
of this.
