Yes, this is a more recent development.  It's surprising that the same
folks who can get low-level code working properly to communicate with a
complex on-the-wire protocol with a DBMS have difficulty figuring out
how to make these much higher-level tools work.  I confess I'm one of
them.  I don't have a clue about autoconf, and my eyes glaze over when
discussions, which I can only assume are highly sophisticated
explanations of why it's a Good Thing that the build process should
assume a specific version of a tool, start scrolling by. :->}
