No. autoconf (that's the only part of autotools that I use) is perfectly
suited to solve the problems that I need to solve in cysignals. It
solves the problem of detecting various headers and functions. I
wouldn't know how to do that otherwise.
The main problem seems to be that merely having a "./configure" script
creates false expectations. I am actually wondering whether I should
rename "./configure" to something else just to avoid that confusion.
Jeroen.
