in principle all those patches are ok, but like the cmake one, we have 
to maintain some basic rules for these:

1 - clear difference between "configure" and "build" phases, and run 
prepare_install in between

2 - prefer GNU make over other build systems by default (IOW, if 
'Makefile' exists use it, instead of attempting a CMake build just 
because 'configure' did not exist).

I haven't looked too closely in all the examples flying by, but I can 
see about merging them in theedge and taking a close look myself to make 
sure we don't break any modules expecting above behaviour.
