If you don't mind GPL then, try this version:

http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/


$ configure --prefix=GIT:/

Or; logically, "[i]::CLSID_" instead of /usr/... in ECMAScript, which mono
could include submodules as resources upon the build of configure.exe.

See also: man(stable:1), schroot(sid:3).
