No, it's not. We already had this topic often enough.

Going onto the autoconf route has _a lot_ of implications we most
like don't want. Autoconf is very bloatet and has a long, long
history of ugly breaks, especially when it comes to not-so-common
cases like crosscompiling (which actually is the _standard_ in my 
daily business ;-o).

If you really want to use autoconf, feel free to fork your own
branch (you can use my git repo for that) and show us the 
benetifs ;-P
