"configure" scripts are huge but primitive.
FWIW, libtool scripts are a bit more complex. Unrelated though, Libtool records the shell and its features; if you change /bin/sh from bash to dash, the installed /usr/bin/libtool will have its $echo setting wrong, and break occasionally. dash will be a slight disadvantage for libtool scripts because it will call an external echo; but not much. OTOH in some cases, new bash can really help[1].
