Yup. Something like this has been suggested for automake's
`missing', and I'm thinking about the best way to make it work.
I've just tought we could keep it in an initial section of
`configure'. Then, we'd arrange for `autoconf' to preserve that
section, and we'd need some tool to add/remove/update shtools within
that special section of configure. Comments?
