I hope so too, that would be insane.  But there ought to be a sane
alternative and it should not be anywhere as complex.  I'm sorry I put
the NetBSD package system in the same basket as the autoconf stuff,
their relationship is merely that the package system is geared towards
autoconf, but that is only a fraction of its functionality and I'm
sure can be replaced.  In fact, thinking about it, I've often wished
the configuration stuff would move out of the individual packages so
that duplication could be eliminated.  So maybe that's what _I'm_
looking for.

But enough said.  I have a much better idea of what the vocal Plan 9
community would (not) like.
