I've begun writing a FAQ document for the Autotools:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/faq/autotools-faq.html

It contains several of the questions that your post implied; not all are
answered yet, and much of the text still needs further work.  The FAQ is
not yet findable easily by web searches, but I hope that will change
over time as it gets filled with more useful information.

I'd like to thank you for your blog post, it prompted me to finally do
this.

Cheers,
Ralf
