    It may not have canned tests for everything, but I don't think writing
    tests where necessary and providing explicit info which can't be
    tested is so difficult.

That is trivial, since we have already done it.

Chances are we could easily use Autoconf for more than we do now.
It does take some work.  If someone wants to do it, that is fine.
