For Autoconf, that would benefit to many people, yes. Gary Vaughan
has already a 2.0 well underway that would allow us to have a faster
engine (by loading .so files), by I guess he doesn't have enough time
to finish it.That might be very undesirable if it makes our efforts to prevent non-free extensions more difficult. And I can't see how it would be relevant to the speedup. So it seems like a completely wrong idea. What was the motive for this?
