I am wondering whether you can help add auto configuration. The program is at http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/downloads/cufflinks-1.2.1.tar.gz

| A few quick points:
| 
|   a)  There is an entire vignette devoted to this: Rcpp-package.
| 
|   b)  It is best to avoid configure and get by just using src/Makevars as we
|       ourselves learned over the years from Simon and others
| 
|   c)  There are now over 40 packages on CRAN using Rcpp, these should provide
|       stanzas.
|  
|   d)  If you need specific help, please ask specific questions.
| 
|   e)  Lastly, if you must, you can indeed call something like 
| 
|                 Rscipt -e "Rcpp:::LdPaths()" 
| 
|       from configure. But see point b) above.

And if I misread your mail and you "simply" want to add RInside and Rcpp to
an existing project, see the Makefiles in the different example directories
of the RInside package.  

You will be to do something similar via configure, which is not hard once you
know a little configure. There are numerous tutorials on the web...

Hope this helps, Dirk
