Of course. I had some time to play around with that but nothing
concrete as of yet.

I think automake might not actually help but I think autoconf is
useful (to integrate with protoc-c and detect cross compilers, etc.)

I'm also planning to make the build use a non-recursive make
invocation, though that shouldn't have any side effects outside of the
build system.

I'll take aa look at the ansible-playbook. If I do send a change to
adopt autoconf which will require running ./configure I'll try to send
you a PR to update the ansible to run it during the build.

I'll be off on vacation for the next two weeks, so probably this will
be only after I return.

Cheers!
