info page,

I rather like Steve's reimplementation. It uses TCL. But for systems that do not have TCL installed by default, it includes the complete source code for JimTcl which it automatically compiles and runs. Unlike autoconf, I'm actual able to follow the code for Steve's autosetup.
My only complaint with autosetup is that autosetup itself is maintained on github :-( The autosetup version of Fossil is now available on a branch. Some additional work is needed. http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?r=autosetup
Great. Bug reports and requests are welcome.
I did notice one small bug in that version. See fix attached.
Cheers, Steve
