What do you propose autoconf and makefiles get replaced by? % wc pidgin/configure* 34287 118303 1004074 pidgin/configure 2499 7684 81532 pidgin/configure.ac Which you rather code, 2.5K lines of autoconf or 35K lines of configure script? As long as there's enough diversity to require configure scripts, there's going to be a demand for an autoconf-ish feature to ease writing them.
