I could volunteer to do this, but I don't know that it's a good idea. My
time is not my own right now, so it would likely take me weeks (or
months) to get it on my stack. If nobody's taken care of it after my
code release, I can take a crack at it. I should familiarize myself with
autoconf anyway, I just haven't had any need to fiddle with it.
