The hardest thing about autoconf/automake is IMHO to get a basically
framework to compile, if that its done it is not to hard to change/add
the things which are needed by the game. I personally find it much
more comfortable using autoconf/automake than writing Makefile's myself.

Have you noticed my email address grumbel@gmx.de <- I am a native
german speaker :-) ^^
English it not that difficult, even and English comment with lots of
mistakes will be more helpfull than in an language the programmer
can't understand.

here a short quote from the GNU Coding Standards:
| Every program should start with a comment saying briefly what it is
| for. Example: `fmt - filter for simple filling of text'.
|
| Please write the comments in a GNU program in English, because
| English is the one language that nearly all programmers in all
| countries can read. If you do not write English well, please write
| comments in English as well as you can, then ask other people to help
| rewrite them. If you can't write comments in English, please find
| someone to work with you and translate your comments into English.
