  Autoconf exists because not all systems have the same tools or libraries
installed, nor all systems have the same versions of those tools/libraries.

  Autoconf also exists because computer architectures are different.
For instance, some architectures may be little-endian while others are
big-endian. Some architectures may be 32-bit while others are 64-bit.

  Portability is a key feature of unix-like systems.
