I'm afraid I decide not to introduce autotools for the following reasons.

First, because autotools cannot know whether LZO library is prepared in
2nd kernel environment, it cannot decide whether it should link LZO library
dynamically even if LINKTYPE=dynamic is specified.

Second, if autotools behaves differently depending on LINKTYPE, it is difficult
for users to understand.

So, I think that current method is simpler and better than autotools.


Thanks
