I have just (re)sent series of patches adding autodetection
of building options via autoconf generated configure.

Done.

To be written by somebody better versed in autoconf.

Needs checking.

Show 10 quoted lines

Done, I think

Needs lightweight install-sh script. If I remember correctly someone provided such script because of lack of install on some exotic architecture. Easily provided.

To be done using --with-shell=PATH, --with-perl=PATH, --with-python=PATH, easily.

I don't know how to do this (for now), probably quite easy.
