A valid concern.  I think the population of autoconf-aware folks is very much
greater than the population of Configure-aware folks, so this shouldn't be an
issue.  I'm sure Leonard Foner will help (he's already offered his working
proof-of-concept code), and I'm glad to help, too.  (I have a pretty good
feeling of what it takes to write portable shell scripts, having written a
couple-hundred lines as part of INN a few years ago.:)

I would recommend not using libtool right away.
