Well that's a fib.  If these were done right the
configure.in file (i.e. the thing that autoconf
reads to generate that fine ./configure script)
would be rolled up from knowledge gleaned from the
declare-system forms.  Instead I just generate
a default configure.in file that happens to work
with the makefile.in that is generated for the
pseudo port-name "autoconf".

This is close enought that it is tempting to
eliminate all the makefile-<port-name> makefiles,
but that would require getting the opt/bin etc.
stuff figured out.

For the time being to use this you do:

  cd lecho/c
  autoconf
  ./configure
  cd ../opt
  make -f ../makefile

that should work on most platforms, maybe...

I'm going to bed.
