Well, there is a suggested "standard" at the FSF.

I'm in no way an expert at gnu Makefiles.  I haven't had to construct anything
complex.  If your sample works, then I think it's wonderful.  I would tend to
take a look at using config.guess, configure scripts that use it, autoconf and
automake packages and packages that use it to decide how I would setup the
scripts.

Does anyone on the list know of a step by step tutorial on autoconf and
automake configuration other than the info files that come with the packages? 
Does anyone else have a suggestion?
