Not really.  After all, portability is much more about
writing code than using tools ;-)  If you mean my
couple of diffs, of course you are welcome to tear
them off and use separately from the rest.

Automake and portability: there is only indirect
connection between them.  Libtool makes it much easier
to deal with shared libraries, and using libtool
*without* automake is kinda daunting.

To my eye, the main benefit of automake is provididng
you with targets that you would never have stomach to
write by hand, such as "dist" and "distcheck".  I
don't know, I like it.  I think that my lige became
easier since I adopted it for my projects...
