No need for a configure script in here, but I guess some people got used to it. To commit, or not to commit?

This thread is now about how much of a horrible mess Autoconf is. I distinctly remember one checking for strcmp. That's right, fucking strcmp. Whoever tries to compile anything on a system lacking that deserves to get errors up his ass, but instead everyone else who has it (and several dozen other standard library functions it checks) has to wait a ton of time. And don't get me started on the idiots including checks for a FORTRAN compiler in a package that is 100% C. Fucking GNUtards.

You are saying this simply because you aren't smart enough to use Autotools. Hey, it's ok... there's nothing wrong in being subnormal.

PROTIP: GNU Autotools was designed in the early 1980's. You couldn't make such assumptions in those times.

I hope you realize how silly your argument sounds. Why the fuck should I care about problems they had 30 years ago when they are nonexistent today?

M4 is fine, it's just that Autotools abuses it severely.
