I don't get it.  Why do people insist on using autoconf to adapt to  
an OS' quirks when a package only supports one OS?
Maybe I'm missing something, but "Linux" isn't "one OS" and  
autoconf's primary goal is to detect all the quirks of an OS by it's  
self. Ideally, make "dragonfly" a known OS, then start installation  
and watch problems magically going away.

Surely we don't live in an ideal world, but short of hand-coding I'm  
not aware of an better approach.
