I've been trying to get myself to use autotools-utils more often lately,
especially since I think at this point, with multilib support easier to
wire in it than others, it would be the right way to proceed with (it's
going to be a ruddy mess with orthogonal ABIs such as Ruby's but I don't
want to go there right now).

The only thing that would upset me in all of this is something that is
unfortunately needed for multilib builds to not be completely idiotic,
and that is the out-of-source builds. I had to fix one package for that
already (lksctp-tools).

On the other hand I usually fixed that stuff anyway because I use
out-of-source builds when I'm developing them so...

Btw, I know I've been more than rough on Michał before, so I guess I'd
better say this out loud: I really like his roadmap toward multilib
support. Kudos!
