thats the reason you have automake, so you don't have to be bothered 
with the unreadable Makefiles. I have found that autoconf/make can be a 
great help for large projects and also when you need to autodetect 
thinks before compilation.
For vdr itself it would be helpfull to detect some thinks, like DVBDIR 
and NEWSTRUCT automagicaly, for the DVD plugin thinks like library 
locations, theyre include paths and DJBFFT would be helpfull.....
Actually, it should be possible to write a relly small configure script 
to figure out those things without the autoconf/make overhead and 
Makefile complexity.

Yep, but i believe she edit vdr's Makefile and entered the paramter 
there, or i completly misunderstud the original mail.
