I've modified it to work with automake and autoconf.
There's a new tarball at

http://chapters.gnu.org/~bjg/test-releases/gsrc-0.2.tar.gz
http://chapters.gnu.org/~bjg/test-releases/gsrc-0.2.tar.gz.sig

Any top-level configure arguments are passed down to individual
packages.  A normal "./configure && make" builds everything.  The user
doesn't have to edit any configuration files.  The documentation is
also built, and "make distcheck" works.
