In the previous pill we packaged a simple .c file, which was being
compiled with a raw gcc call. That's not a good example of project. Many

Out of this we managed to create a generic builder for autotools projects,

Out of this pill we managed to create a generic builder for autotools
projects, and a function <code>mkDerivation</code> that composes by default
the common components used in autotools projects instead of repeating them
