You only have to edit the library path constants at the beginning of 
the Makefile. If you have adapted that to the requirements of your system 
once, you can just copy and paste it in any new Makefile of any new ams 
release. It's indeed trivial. I don't like the idea of automake/autoconf. 
I've got the impression that these pose more problems than they are 
actually solving. So unless somebody convinces me, I won't include this 
mechanism into the official ams tarball.

Maybe it's a good idea to wait until ams-1.7.6. ams-1.7.5 is an 
intermediate release which has a bug in the new sustain/hold pedal 
feature. I plan to release ams-1.7.6 this week, maybe even tonight.
