The openlmi-tools are built entirely in Python. It seems wasteful to use the heavyweight autotools build system for it. This patch and the one in review https://reviewboard-openlmi.rhcloud.com/r/99/ will replace the autotools build system with one based on Python's setuptools.
Apologies for the ugly in-browser diff. Apparently, ReviewBoard does not handle file moves very gracefully yet. I've attached a different version of the diff as well, which only shows that a move happens and then the differences made. It's easier to spot that way.
