        Non, pas encore. Tu peux utiliser ce qui suit (la même chose
qu'autoconf) en attendant une formulation plus adaptée. 

        Ce n'est pas "parfait" mais c'est raisonable selon moi car
Autoconf est très largement utilisé et dans des situations qui sont
très similaires à ce que souhaite CherryPy. On sait par ailleurs que,
dans le cas d'autoconf, cette façon de faire n'a généré aucun problème
pratique à ce jour.
