oosbuild - build autoconf packages out of source.
Well, not really. It actually just links all the files from the source directory and runs ./autogen.sh. However, it automates this process nicely, so you can do
mkdir build;cd build
osbuild .. -- --enable-options
make installor however you prefer without polluting the source tree with a bunch of generated files. Basically the way cmake does things.
PKGBUILD here: https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/oosbuild/

It's super simple, but so far it works. If it doesn't... well, patches welcome.

Re: oosbuild - build autoconf packages out of source.
Went ahead and added support for configure. If a project ships with the configure generated from autotools, it already supports out of source builds, but some people write their own.
