Using autotools has several advantages against trying to add such a
feature to the Makefile:
- we don't need to always pass an extra option to make, so once
configured there is less to type
- we also check for dependencies along the way
- the trade-off between easy to use and code simplicity looks better
than with plain Makefile: with a single option we can easily make
the Makefile use --share and --with-lbwww-path conditionally. Doing
that with a plain Makefile would probably be way more complex, or
would require code duplication (to only use --share and
--with-lbwww-path when an option is passed to the Makefile), or
would require to pass raw build.sh options (which would complicate
usage).
