BTW, Autoconf allows for the parts of the package to be
configured by independent `configure' scripts
(AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.) Could the splitting of the top-level
`configure' script be considered for GRASS?
Doing the things this way has the following benefits:
* the move to Autoconf 2.50 could then be made gradually, and
not at once;
* when the part of code depends on a set of specific libraries,
there won't be any need to collect the specific compiler and
linker flags into specific variables -- they could be
collected into CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (thus simplifying
the script), while they'll affect only the part of the package
the configure script belongs to.
