Good.  So the first question is ... why do you need it ? ;-)

If you're only using/checking gnustep libraries, you can probably do
without it ... and rely on gnustep-make to provide system info for you.

You might need it if you want to check for a (unix?) non-gnustep library
of some sort that you want to use ... in which case a good kickstart would
be to look at a very simple case ...

I'd suggest you look at dev-libs/gsgd

That's a very easy example which just checks a single library, and sets up
a config.make.in which is then included in the GNUmakefile.  Should be
easy to understand and to copy.

Keep in mind that the less you use autoconf, the better, because autoconf
does tend to go wrong. ;-)
