I suppose I should mention that not too long ago, I actually went ahead
and did the autoconf work; it only took me an afternoon or so.  I have a
very small amount of cleanup yet to do, after which I'll do an official
release.  Don't expect a high level of functionality yet; there are still
quite a few things I want to do with this.  Still, I hope it will be
useful to at least a few people in its present form.
