I agree with Richard. This is definately a future plan, I had kind of let it
go until we actually had a fully working Aztec on Linux, since I
doubt too many user besides us mess with Aztec on the Linux side
of things. But if you want to get the autoconf stuff going, I would be
glad to help.

I propose we follow the LSB (Linux Standard Base), and go by
whatever it says. I personally have never read the LSB yet so I am hoping
Richard knows this one !
