 Your help is much appreciated. Someone once wrote an autoconfigure script
 for mwrank (for when I used to distribute that, pre-sage, now part of
 eclib).  I never understood it properly and it was nightmare to ever
 change.  More recently William himself (I think) fixed it but I ditched it
 altogether soon after eclib became part of Sage (the mwrank distribution
 had its own entirely independent Makefile, and did not divide the code
 into 4 subdirectories as with eclib).  I am certain that there is lots of
 crud in those makefiles since they were not rewritten from scratch for the
 distribution but just slightly trimmed from prehistoric makefiles which
 had evolved over many years.  It would be a good thing (I suppose) to do
 that rewriting; but certainly not before the end of term.
