As I wrote in a previous post, that comes in the same way. During 
integrating that stuff, I added a packaging directory to the core that 
holds all distribution specific stuff, currently in developing for 
Debian, Fedora - planned for MacOSX, perhaps also for Solaris.
(Sorry, no Windows support currently planned from my side :)

One more word to autoconf as it seems to me that there are people who 
not know when this is used.

In projects where autoconf is used the release manager checks out a copy 
from cvs (or other rcs), runs autoconf,... (typically called due 
something like autogen.sh or bootstrap.sh) and calls 'make dist' to 
generate a tar.(gz|bz2) file which is the base for packaging.

So a normal user don't have to call autoconf, just the well-known 
triple. As there aren't big changes in the core you also can just copy 
the typo3 und t3lib folders to any directory without the triple but 
probably loosing the generating of the api-docs and anything else that 
is integrated into the build process.

During calling the ./configure in the packaging stuff several 
placeholders are substituted.

As my repository is public just dive into it.
