Well, other than the totally uncivilized discussion by nearly everyone
on this thread, I'd argue that discussing the whole "you must use the
one working (long abandoned) version of autoconf" is certainly a good
topic for a developer list and a good puzzle to solve.

I'd have to agree with Dale on this point; PHP has more fragile
dependencies on build tools than any modern open source project
out there.  I totally disagree with him that not providing binaries
is discourteous to users; that's a packager problem (and on Mac/OSX,
one to complain to Apple about, eh?)
