Yes, so far.

I also do not have any local change that adds another package which
depends on pmake.

Well, I've had a quick look, and it's not that easy.
For one, the Makefile has dirty dependencies on generated headers.

I'm afraid adding  a configure.ac and Makefile.am will not be as
straightforward as we may think, but I'll try to do it.

Yes, pmake is ugly. :-(
