Akim Demaille, who I gather is the autoconf maintainer (please correct me if
I'm wrong), has stated on the gcc mailing list, which I subscribe to, that he
didn't know much about traditional and pure UNIX systems (traditional and pure
for me, for you I guess ancient and broken) and wanted to learn more. I have
already posted an offer of 4.3BSD user accounts to software developers, and
recent postings by me and others about what is 4.3BSD, how it opposes POSIX and
System V, and how is, say, Ultrix different should give you enough information.
Also you may want to know that 4.3BSD is actively maintained and shipped, see:

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
