the commits lined up in *WIP branches are meant for discussion, until
final state has been reached. i see it the other way: if i don't publish
my workbench, nobody has a chance to work on it. but: i'll try to
incorporate anything you email me.

i don't have a problem with "configure" i just announced the move to
configure.gnu some hours ago.

it's not just about the macros, i'm just trying to approximate what Al
proposed. Probably it just complicates things.

?! i've always been seperating build from src since i know about it.
FWIW: "distcheck" highly depends on it.
