That's true, didn't I notice the autoconf stuff was missing and I have
not made sure it works on non GNU/Hurd systems in my last mail?
Please understand the patch is not yet finished, I just sent it in for
review so be sure I'm not heading in the wrong direction.

It's also important that the Hurd hackers will have a look at the
patch before you commit it, can you please wait until I did that?

I will make these changes as you noticed.

Thanks,
Marco
