i took a brief look. i have not used autoconf before, so some
questions:
  * do you need to make a list of all the system dependencies? or will
    autoconf figure them out?
  * will this result in #ifdef's all through the code, or can the
    impact be localized? is it actually possible to put all the
    system dependent stuff in a single header (e.g. config.h) ?
