11 there is a surprising number of useful macros in the largely unknown
12 autoconf-archive package. i tend to browse that when i need something
13 new to see if someone hasnt already coded up what i wanted.
14
15 downside is that the quality can sometimes vary significantly across
16 macros. so a review of the code you're importing should be done
17 (ignoring the general aspect of this statement). upside is that the
18 maintainer is usually pretty responsive in merging changes.
