No offense taken. I put that comment in to lighten the tone a little.

These battles are a pain and a complete waste of time. They really really 
annoy me. Like, autoconf was supposed to remove hassle.
It hasn't.
The kernel does not use autoconf -- which suggests to me that autoconf is 
not all capable. The ptlib&opal build system consists of multiple projects 
that interdepend on each other. autoconf (ideally) requires us to 
duplicate code and directories, and separate the projects out.  forget 
that.
