Lighten up, Ivo. It was a joke.

I'll take your word for it, although I'm not sure what it has to do
with tinycc's config/build system.

FWIW, you might consider some fact-checking. I don't know where you
got the idea AC checks for FORTRAN, etc. for C projects, for example.
That's plainly incorrect. Maybe you haven't look at it for a while;
it's a lot better now than it was a few years ago. Still hideous, but
it works.
Automated, portable, etc. etc. configuration mgmt is an interesting
topic, but for me at least now is not the time. I just want tinycc to
work and I don't really care how. I happen to know AC/AM/etc fairly
well so I'll probably give tinycc the treatment. I'm looking for
people interested in testing, not debating the toolset; I just don't
have time for that. AC/AM/etc may be the most hideous hairball in the
cosmos, but they work pretty well and they seem to be known and used
by many. For a small project like tcc, a big debate about config/build
systems doesn't seem worth the trouble.
Having said that, I might be persuaded to take a look at cmake
(http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html) if AC is a big issue for most
people. I've not looked into it very far, but it seems to be gaining
some traction and has fairly impressive feature set.
