So, it sounds like autoconf may function as intended but perhaps the
person who wrote the test needs some help?

Given that progress is likely to be evolutionary rather than
revolutionary, what kind of system or environment do you see that has
potential to wean people from autoconf with as minimal hassle as
possible?  If I'm engrossed in autoconf hell for whatever reason --
say I'm the Firefox build maintainer, for instance -- what does the
path out look like?
