[gambit-list] Autoconf

Dear Gambitizers,

Does anyone use Autoconf?  One of the supposed advantages of compiling
Scheme->C is that the C is portable and therefore "compilable" by anyone
with a C compiler.  

Autoconf seems to be the most familiar routine (I mean typing
./configure && make && make install), so it would be good to know how to
set up such a distribution.  For example, "make dist" would compile
scheme modules in such a way that all the work left is for the C
compiler.

I realize this raises some questions about linking with Gambit, so I'm a
little confused.

Does anyone have a schema for using Autoconf that I could see?

Thanks,
Joel
