Have you committed all changes? I just did a cvs update but I can't see
them. And compiling fails...

I read some web pages about autoconf and they all say that autoconf is
really useful for making software more portable... In fact I think that
a configure-tested "#ifdef HAVE_SOMETHING" is probably easier to
maintain than a hardcoded "#if defined SOME_OS || defined OTHER_OS ||
defined ..."
But you should already know that I don't have much experience with C
programming, compiling etc. and therefore I agree with your decision ;-)
