I would contend that writing a questionnaire-style wrapper script around
autotools/configure is dramatically easier than adapting the old build
system to do some of the things that autotools does for us now.

In fact, it would even be possible to adapt the old script to work as a
front-end to autotools if this is a higher priority than the other
documentation issues.
