oh come now. you are not even looking at the best part: libtool!
phreke:~% wc -l `which libtool`
7462 /usr/local/bin/libtool
phreke:~% head -1 `which libtool`
#! /bin/sh
phreke:~%
hacking libtool is fun! just the other day I suggested to add
another 30 or so lines and what do you know, the libtool maintainers
agree it is useful ... if they can figure out how many more
lines it needs to be wrapped in to not cause other prooblems.
if you want to have real fun with autotools, use something other than
Linux or FreeBSD and see if you can track down where the problems
start. oh such fun!
