Thank you very much for cleaning up the autoconf stuff, that indeed
looks pretty clean now. Thanks as well for tracking down and fixing the
loading speed issue.

[ The only thing I'm missing now is the version information during
configure. I.e. what version of botan, pcre, idna, ..  I'm going to
compile against. ]

As we now expect nvm.stripped to compile and run on most of the
supported systems, I think we should land nvm.stripped in about a week,
given further testing succeeds. Or is landing it on nvm potentially
hindering anybody from doing something important on nvm?

I haven't tested much on my systems, but will do so within the next few
days.
