The size is a major obstacle, though - it's not that it's poorly
formatted or anything, it's just that it's much harder to follow than it
should be. This is a real pain when things aren't working as you
expect.
To be honest, I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with autoconf.
You seem to be adding a layer of abstraction and complexity that isn't
needed and which makes the system harder to understand.
