I've intentionally used something else so people don't assume "--host is 
there, so I can specify --build and --target as well" ;)

I'm not quite an x264 developer (I'm the x264 package maintainer for Ark Linux 
though), but I definitely like the idea -- makes stuff like crosscompiling 
and also like making it both a static and a shared library (when the API is 
ready) much easier.
I'd even volunteer to write the new configure.ac and Makefile.ams unless the 
"real" developers hate the autotools for some reason (there are valid reasons 
to hate them... such as the unreadable files being generated, and the pretty 
steep learning curve of getting configure.acs right.)
