What do we need autoconf/automake for? TYPO3 doesn't really have any 
other dependencies than php and a database (does dbal even need a 
database?), and nothing is ever compiled. Why not have a simple 
makefile: make install, make update, make uninstall should be enough.

The autotools just a lot of useless complexity and bloat.

Other than that: Great idea!
