Honesty, I haven’t entirely thought through what it is going to mean to remove the autoconf system. There are some standalone makefiles that might make sense to keep around.

Since the current CMake build system depends on config.guess I don’t think it is going anywhere, but maybe eventually we’ll do something different.
