I know I OK'ed this, but the autotools build is actually very easy to
maintain; it's all in src/Makefile.am. See my recent commit. And it
is probably skipping plugins for you because you did not run
autoreconf in some time. I have been trying to keep the autoconf build
up-to-date. It is current AFAIK.
