Basic make-support is also implemented, so you're able to build either whole directories or single targets. Currently editing Makefile.am and running automake-and-friends has to be done manually.

Hmm, "Importing" (as in using Project->Open Project with a Makefile.am)
should automatically work IIRC, you just need to have the proper stuff in
the desktop file for your plugin (see CMake for an example).
