   I had several times the "pleasure" of trying to get an autocrap-based build   
   work on Solaris, for example.  A typical (and far from the only) example is   
   configure script breaking because it looks for some missing header file even   
   though that header is not used at all by the program I'm trying to compile,   
   which leads to trying to figure out the mess of the configure script itself.   
   Since if I wanted to run autoconf/automake, I first had to install version   
   2.59 of something since 2.58 was not good enough.  + IIRC, it wanted GNU m4,   
   etc, etc.
