Nice work.

Years ago I wrote a script that fully automates the build process of Emacs on Windows and I honestly wish we had something like a cross-distro(or maybe even cross-platform) maven\npm\composer for autotools builds. So that people won't have to spend time studying the somewhat esotheric(to a modern eye) build process.

P.S. I like using the autotools manual as a sleeping aid and I dream of someday discovering the difference between autoconf and automake.
