For a very simple reason, fixing hand written makefiles is the number 1 
burden in distribution mainteniance.

Any autotools stuff provided is always better and causes less pain than 
ad-hoc build scripts.

This is why you see frecuent requests to use autotools, because hand 
crafted stuff breaks literally everyday, just ask any distribution 
packager if you dont believe me.
