But they have nothing to do with David's use of autoconf, if his

PATH-chasing and checking for whether options are present that could
just as easily be done in Lisp.
I've now scanned aclocal.m4, and that's indeed what he appears to be
doing. However, the file is 10k, so there is some amount of work to
be done in porting it all to Lisp. (Even though parts of it are
already in Lisp.)
