So you're doing something that autoconf, automake, configure and so
forth can't handle?  (Assuming that you're working on UNIX) If you are
working on UNIX, look at
http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/autoconf.html and
http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/automake.html

If you're working on Windows...  Hrm, has anyone ported autocnof and
automake to Windows?
