I think it's wonderful that you are finally using gnu autoconf
for this. I've been using autoconf for a while now for my own
development (and hope to contribute an autoconf-based
configuration to tcsh sometime in my copious spare time). When
I go back to build some software from athena (like kerberos 4 or
zephyr), I'm always dismayed at how backward imake is and how
full our software is with platform-specific #ifdef's instead of
feature-based conditions such as are supported by autoconf or
even tcsh's manual configuration. Congratulations on bringing
kerberos V up-to-date with respect to software infrastructure
supporting easy portability.
