The harder part is the autoconf magic required for the switching, and not even writing autoconf (at least not yet), but rather incorporating the changes:
On my system, "./reautoconf" does not work, instead complains:

Or is there a different way to regenerate configure after changes to its source files?
There surely is, but I don't know it offhand. Our auto* experts are Thomas Esser (busy offline) and Olaf Weber (who should have a new hard disc now).
Actually, it was the system that died, with the harddisk one of the few usable parts remaining. But part of the fallout of all this is that I've done little useful (TeX-wise) for some time now. The reautoconf script in the source tree should be running the hacked-up autoconf 2.13 that's also in the source tree. I don't _think_ you need autoconf 2.13 installed as well, but am not certain at this point. As Thomas points out, the autoconf mess should be resolved in the nearish future by 2.13 being abandoned. -- Olaf Weber (This space left blank for technical reasons.)
