Thanks for the build patches. I've just committed a modified version,
hopefully a little more general and useful as a framework for other
non-autotools builds. Please let me know how it works.

Your warning list was quite helpful and did indeed catch some buglets.
I've gone through and fixed a number (but not all) of them, and of course
the code has evolved some since. I'd be interested in another iteration
on that, as well as occasional ones in the future.

Thanks again for trying the build,
