Then the library needs to copy the work previously done by the macros of
setting the CFLAGS & generating the changelog from git when making releases.

When you're done, all you've done is duplicated code, increasing the maintenance
burden, and removed the requirement for people making releases to have X.Org's
autoconf macro packages installed.   End users see no difference, and I see no
benefit in making us work harder just to purge the word "XORG" from the macros.
