The person who wrote the software is not using autoconf, but I've offered to 
convert it to autoconf, as his 'Configure' script has not worked well for use in 
the Sage project, and peoples attempts to hack it to work have been less than 
successful too.

The library had various macros, which will only complicate things. I really do 
want to keep this as simple as possible, as I fear otherwise he will abandon the 
autoconf/automake approach, and go back to his 'Configure' script, which works 
well for him.

That's my dilema.
