Are you sure? Why should a program that just depends on the standard
library be faster with autotools? In particular, how would autotools
change anything in how the program is compiled or ran?

(BTW, I personally don't like autotools very much, as they encourage
mixing hand-written and generated code; since I don't think they give an
important advantage when you don't depend on non-standard libraries, I
would suggest to not use them for Metamath)

My 2 cents, Giovanni.
