Warning: you're on a GNU mailing list. ;-)
Besides, I'd be glad to hear about your precise griefs against Autoconf.
It turns out that before Autoconf existed, there was no generic way to
look for features available on Unix-like platforms. People were either
not porting their software or implementing ad hoc things. The ``Goat
Book'' explains this quite well[0].
Autoconf is a good tool to help port things across Unix-like platform --
no wonder it's not that helpful when trying to port software, say, to
EROS. ;-)
Thanks,
Ludovic.
