So... if folks would like to take a shot, any and all bits and pieces would be appreciated. Taking a look at perl's metaconfig stuff for this (or, I suppose, autoconf's, though I expect that's a bit gcc-specific) wouldn't be out of line either, and would save at least a few of your brain cells as you looked at it. :)
