Sounds good, Lars. Many thanks for your work on this.
o "v1". A vote to continue with it (even in "not maintained" status) for
the time being.
o "get rid of ConfigureMe and other autoconf abuse": they are two
separate things:
o autoconf abuse": sure, let's clean up!
o "ConfigureMe": is a very useful 'front-end' onto configure for
end-users who have to build their own: e.g where there is not a
maintained/supported package/port available. 'autoconf' wants to
put things into "/usr/local/{bin,etc,...}", but many OSes (and some
of Linux-HA's own packages) prefer things elsewhere. So a vote to
preserve "ConfigureMe" in some form. I'm happy to assist with such
preservation and maintenance.
