No details written down, no. The basic idea is to use GNU Make to glue together 
Autoconf-style snippets, instead of Autoconf's sequentializing them into a shell 
script. This would 'configure' run in parallel.

Doing this properly will require telling GNU Make about dependencies among the 
snippets, but Gnulib is already keeping track of dependencies, and most of 
Emacs's configury is taken from Gnulib so that would give us a head-start in 
doing the conversion.
