I'd rather not discuss it again, but I've informally counted your vote.

Past messages mentioning autotools for JtR:

To me, the current dependency of -jumbo on GNU make (except on Solaris)
is not necessarily any worse than usage of autoconf would be.

Yet we'll need to consider something like autotools for future versions.
