So, put together a developers kit ... you'd need, what, a half dozen files
to bootstrap a project with? configure.in, Makefile.in, a README file
with the basics on what needs to be modified in Makefile.in, the
src/template directory ...
If you are looking for a problem to solve, make it easier for developers
to setup a proper build environment, don't punish end-users to giving them
a bigger package to download
