Hi,
The configure machinery is hairy, especially for someone who doesn't
know autoconf. I've made a short guide on it on the emacs wiki.

Again, feel free to edit&expand the page.

Thank you!
I wish I had had this a few years ago.
One thing that I find particularly hairy is the dumping mechanism. Extending site-load.el is very tricky, and the limitations are difficult to understand. lisp.mk is helpful and needs to be mentioned. If there’s no good documentation already, it would be great if this Wiki page could discuss it.
