> Working on COUCHDB-1426 today has made me hate life a little bit more. Our
> build system shouldn't be this complex. Mostly this has to do with us not
> using m4 in a way that doesn't lead to horrendous spaghetti code. New plan is
> to create a number of new files like:
> * m4/couch_erlang.m4
> * m4/couch_icu_drv.m4
> * m4/couch_js.m4
> * m4/couch_snappy.m4
> * m4/couch_windows.m4 (maybe? not sure how hard this will be to extract)
> Given these files the plan will be to make configure.ac just run a top-level
> macro from each file. Hopefully we can then have much cleaner definitions
> through out the configure stuff so that when something breaks it'll be more
> obvious why and where to look for an answer.
