My pleasure :)

You know what...I started to write up a bit of an explanation of how I
would do it. Then I got distracted trying stuff. And then, well, I just
did the whole thing. :) The main point is that the user has to pass the
addon-sdk's path to either configure or Makefile as ADDON_SDK (default =
/opt/addon-sdk).

I'm attaching a tar.gz with all the files you need for a GNU Coding
Standards-compliant configure & Makefile. I used Autoconf to generate
configure, so you're also getting all those files as well. You should be
able to just drop the contents into the project directory, delete the
old Makefile, and use them.

I took it upon myself to clean up the Makefile a lot (and turn it into a
Makefile.in). It also now handles building and installing the docs. I
added the `distclean' target, but you'll need to fill in the `dist'
target. 

It works pretty cleanly for me with GSRC, so hopefully it's ok in
general. Let me know if there are any problems!

Cheers,
Brandon
