I'm not sure I like that idea.
There are platforms supported by exim 3 (not necessarily exim 4)
that I wouldn't trust autoconf anywhere near.
I can understand the current system - if it goes wrong I can fix it.
autoconf might start adding new features because I have the libraries for
them. Just because I have pam/ldap/... installed it doesn't mean that I
want them compiled into exim
