Ease the distribution of the library by using standard tools for configuration and build.
Using autotools makes it easy to streamline the distribution process and provides a familiar toolset to tweak the library to the desired installation organization (prefix, packaging, staging area, ...).
I feel this library could gain in visibility as it is very handy when manipulating userland virtual machines, like for example with Vagrant.
