The functionality of the gnucap-conf script needs to be included 
in the main line, but 50,000 lines of autotools is too high a 
price for that 10 line script.

If there are other issues, and I know there are, they need to be 
addressed separately.

Autotools is a configuration aid.  Its use for anything else is 
inappropriate.

What would it take to make gnucap-adms work with gnucap????
