[Zlib-devel] Use autoconf for zlib?

[Mark Adler]

Faithful zlib developers,

I'm considering going to Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool for zlib.  I  
am just now looking at them, and otherwise have no experience  
developing with them.  I'd like to think that this would make my life  
easier in the long run, but I'm not sure.  Are there any opinions on  
the wisdom and/or difficulty of doing this for zlib?
