By separating autoconf into two pieces. One, a package by itself
that needs to be installed before an autoconf-ed package gets installed
and then the new-autoconf package that first checks that its other
half has already been installed. The first half does system config
checks and installs hackaround libraries and other odds and ends,
the second half uses that information and handles project configuration
options. You'd have to bump the major release number.
