The Autotools backend already tries to make the management of Autotools 
project as easy as possible but it is quite general. If you have a 
specific environment it can be made easier.

I don't think you can add a class templates by just adding a file in 
share/anjuta/class-templates but this could be implemented, like in the 
project wizard.

But the class wizard does not add anything in configure.ac or 
Makefile.am. You need to write one plugin implementing the 
IAnjutaProject interface. It's not modifying Anjuta itself: you can 
write your plugin in python or I think vala and you can distribute it 
separately. But most of the code of Anjuta is in plugins so it's not 
very different compare to changing Anjuta itself.
