Well till i get things running, i dont want to get anyone fiddle around with
the build system, that's all. After that, i'd appreciate if anyone comes up
with a patch, change whatever it is. Help is always welcomed to give
and take.

I use open-source products and support also open-source community.
So there is nothing for me to pretend, but i see that my lack of "autooling"

Autotools are great (but a bit unbendable :} ) , and again many thanks !
