I am using autoconf, aclocal, and automake.

My current project is available on the web, but it's not
to a point where I wanted to announce it to the list yet :)

Here goes anyway: 

http://www.newimage.com/~rhk/cyclone

It's a 2d shooter scrolling game, and is still under
rapid development, so take it easy on me... 

I'll probably be moving it to sourceforge soon since my
site is only on a 64K ISDN, and can't handle a lot of 
traffic.

Included in the source tar.gz is the configure.in, Makefile.am,
and so on files to build for unix-like systems, and cross-build
for win32.
