zfstream-autotools.tar.gz has been written by me. Yes, it has been sent
upstream, but the author won't take it, as he is also the author of toc, the
original build system.

I tried half a day to get toc working, without success. Even if I got it to
work, it would unlikely have worked and picked the correct compiler flags etc.
for any architecture I don't own (i.e. everything but x86). So it seemed far
less work to just drop in autotools scripts. And autotool is working and
maintained for pretty much all architectures fedora supports, so it seems to me
that with autotools build scripts, I will have a better chance of getting the
packages to compile and run on other architectures as well.

See the similar discussion on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438587

BTW: I do not intend to actually fork the project source code, just replace the
build system, as it proved unworkable for me. I will send source code changes
upstream, and the author will apply them. He's just not keen on replacing the
build system.
