Sure!

Peek at the code here:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/zile.git/tree/

Clone the repo like this:

  $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/zile.git

Note that this latest version is in 3 parts (4 if you count bootstrap.conf):

  build-aux/options-parser - a sourceable framework for pluggable options 
parsing
                             so that you can easily add extra option support to
                             bootstrap with some hook functions, rather than
                             rewriting the option parsing loop.  Also contains 
the
                             "hooks and requires" facility.
  build-aux/extract-trace  - a wrapper for GNU m4 to parse macro arguments out
                             of configure.{ac,in} used by bootstrap to query
                             AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR etc. Uses the above.
  bootstrap                - the core bootstrap script using both of the above

  bootstrap.conf           - project customisations, a superset of gnulib style
                             bootstrap.conf
