For the "autoconf" format, Bakefile creates Makefile.in
files that depend on the availability of common pieces
of a GNU build system. (config.guess,
install-sh, etc.) These tools
are part of Automake, which can copy these files
into a project's directory during processing.
bakefilize effectively replaces
the automake --add-missing feature.
It is standard practice in Autoconf-based projects to provide a "bootstrap" script (commonly called either bootstrap or autogen.sh) to run commands like autoconf with the proper flags and in the proper order. You should run bakefilize in that script, at some point before the configure script runs.
