24 And if you can't run eautoreconf but instead one of specific commands,
25 eautoconf, eautomake..
26
27 Or what if you need to run AT_M4DIR="/path/to/macros" eautoreconf?
28
29 Or when you are about to remove eautoreconf, spot that fbsd is
30 keyworded and need to substitute it with elibtoolize to avoid
31 .so version breakage wouldn't it be easier to convert from what
32 we use now?
33
34 What about WANT_ variables?
