On the TODO list, together with this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2005-04/msg00072.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2006-03/msg00131.html Unfortunately, there was no volunteer for the SoC project: http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas.html#autoconf Cheers, Ralf
